Hidden gem!

beautiful accommodation! Simply perfect just located outside of the busy streets of Santa Teresa. Only downside is the steep op hill road that leads to the apartments. I’m dry season it’s manageable with a 4x2, wet season 4x4 is definitely needed.

Real nice room which was not a casual room. They really tried to create a chill vibe and the idea that you lay between the trees was really nice (with the big windows behind the bed). Joël helped us really well with finding our way and booking the trip to Tortuga Isle and our surfing lesson. The only thing about the location is that you really need to climb up the hill by foot when going to beach, lunch or dinner.

This place is really cool, it has a pool and hot tub. It’s also nice the rooms have a kitchenette! The only thing is it is quite a ways up a steep gravel road so we ended up always driving down to the Main Street where everything is. The place itself is amazing though, the only thing I would recommend for them to do is to put some ground coffee in the rooms as there is a coffee maker and also provide beach towels for guests to use as most people don’t fly with a big towel. Other than that it’s fantastic and we would stay here again.

I could not stay at this place. The location is very inconvenient. Very close to dusty and noisy road. The condition of this place is sad. I preferred to find another place and lose my money.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay because of the beautiful room that we stayed in and the property itself. Overall quiet and peaceful but it could get loud because it's beside the road but cars, ATVs, motorcycles, etc. do not come as often. We loved that the property is surrounded by trees and you can see and hear monkeys and birds close by. The road to chill has to be earned as the incline is very steep. 10 minutes of hard walking up but the place is worth it. The main person, Joel, is also very nice and friendly. We would definitely consider staying there again in the future. Thank you Chill House!

Grym upplevelse

Stora och rymliga rum med bra kök och badrum. Otroligt läcker uteplats där man kan spendera mesta av sin tid. Man får ta med sig innan man bokar detta grymma boende att det ligger uppför en väldigt brant och lång backe som är tuff att gå. Men på plussidan får man chansen att se alla apor som leker i träden på väg upp till Canaima

I loved the room with the glass wall to a private view of the back yard/hillside. There was a kitchen and a private patio area. Staff was so helpful to navigate our way and to secure a ferry reservation after we left there. Loved the area. Just wasn’t aware how mountainous it is in Costa Rica. Takes getting used to drive up the crazy hills. Great location and food/restaurants was amazing!!! So fresh and good.

Absolutely loved this place. Made pur entire trip to Costa Rica. Honestly wished we stayed longer. Santa Teresa was bumping...so much wild life...had a howler monkey on our roof waking us up with its howls...it was quiet, peaceful and tranquil! The grounds keeper was sooo friendly and sweet. Our air conditioner didnt work in our room, they tried to fix it. It didnt really matter because the place was so great in all other aspects. It was quite the trek to the beach. We drove everyday. Parking was slim but we still had a spot everyday no worries. Loved it. 5 stars all day!

This property is amazing. The one downfall is the parking situation.. There is very little parking... There is some up a very steep ramp that says 4x4 and AtV. We had a 4x4 and I'm a professional driver for a living. Yet, it still caused damage to our vehicle due to the layout and steepness. Besides parking it was wonderful. You will definitely need a 4x4 and even better if you have a ATV

Peaceful, quiet and absolutely stunning property. Very steep climb up the hill, about 400 meters/10 minutes walking. Would recommend an ATV or 4x4 but the place itself makes the trek up worth it. The rooms are beautiful with more space than what you would ne d - 2 beds in the loft space, nice main bed, great looking shower, and a functional kitchen in case you don't want to eat out every day. Property manager Joel was also very welcoming and friendly. We would definitely rebook in the future.

This property is absolutely beautiful! Great vibe and ambience. The private balcony is phenomenal. The dirt road up the hill is difficult without 4-wheel drive and the ATVs are a little noisy. Good area of town not in the middle of traffic. I’d stay again.

Een heerlijke plek om te verblijven in Santa Teresa! Het is een hotel met een prachtige inrichting midden in de natuur. Mooie en fijne kamers. De ligging is dichtbij het stand en centrum, maar wel op de heuvel dus een stevige wandeling heuvelop en met de auto is een 4X4 wel aan te raden. Die weg wil ook wel eens wat geluidsoverlast veroorzaken door de vele quads die er langsrijden. Zeker een aanrader en het hotel doel zijn naam er aan 😃.

Angela

Disliked: Amenities
Don’t ignore the reviews about the “hill”. That hill is ridiculous. There is no “staff”, no “shuttle” so you have to carry everything up and down the muddy and steep hill each time you leave your room. The “eco chic chill house” doesn’t have anything for its guests- no coffee, no reception, no activities…just the damp room overlooking the images you see in the reviews. There’s nothing else to see but these images. At the bottom of the hill theres good restaurants, beach etc but there are many many places nicer, cleaner and more welcoming that “chill house”. PS)if you take a rental- remember that it’s 5 hours from the airport and NO ONE will answer the canaima chill house office phone to help you and they wont help you carry your stuff down the hill in the pouring rain either.

It was away from the main party scene which was peaceful and quiet. If it rained, ensure you have a AWD or 4x4 vehicle as it is on a steep gravel road that would easily turn to slick mud. The pool was zen and relaxing but couldve been cleaner. Friendly staff.

HIDDEN PEARL

Canaima Chill House is really a hidden pearl up in the hills a 5-7 minute walk from the mainroad in Santa Teresa. The owner Juan and his staff are all very welcoming and helpful, and make sure you have everything you need for a pleasant stay. The walk up there...yeah, its kind of a workout. A quad would have been nice. But dont let the walk scare you, its worth the privacy🍃 I can imagine this place is even more beautiful off dry season. So, thank you all for a very pleasant stay! Pura Vida🌊🐳🙏

Sad and tired facility

Maybe 10 years ago this could have been a chilling place, however, sadly no more ! Zero maintenence, zero outdoor cleaning and you had more opportunities to view the local wildlife than find a member of staff. The hotel had no appeal factor at all ... pool looked like it had not been cleaned in months In hindsight we should have left after day one.
