Great value for money. Very steep hill towards the hotel. Little bit outside of town but enough restaurants and bars down the road. We stayed in montezuma also but we definitely preferred mal pais. A car is very convenient round here, although parking space is really tight. Rooms are very spacious, nice kitchen and porch. The garden is narrow but... More

"The Chill House" perfectly describes the experience of staying here, and from the moment you check-in, you immediately feel as though you are in a relaxed state of mind. The hospitality is top notch, and we absolutely felt totally taken care of throughout our stay. Juan Carlos and his staff truly know how to ensure that guests are enjoying themselves... More

Our expectations were truly high before we visited Santa Teresa and Canaima House. Juan Carlos and his outstanding staff easily exceeded our very high expectations. They assisted us with everything, they had great recommendations for our stay, they even arranged a hotel for our over night in San Jose so that we could make our flight the next morning. That...

Our family of three had a fantastic week at The Canaima Chill House. Two features sets this hotel apart from many others we have stayed at; 1. Exceptional customer service. The owner Juan Carlos and his girlfriend, entire staff and two dogs are just the best. Extremely helpful in every way, with any need you might have. It made our... More

We stayed here for 4 nights in March and we loved this place. Yes, there is a big hill that we had to walk up and down each day, as we did not have a car, but it was worth the effort, and you get some good exercise. You get over it quickly. Rooms are very cool with a large... More

Such luxury for such a little price. Beds comfy, grounds beautiful, balconys with swinging beds great too. Nice to have a kitchen. Didn't struggle with the hill as we had a car, but we loved this place. Would return in a heartbeat. Would recommend to all. Best place we stayed on our trip in CR.

Peaceful and relaxing lots of nooks for napping. Great staff who helped us plan our travels. Annoyingly didn't take cards for payment so we had a massive trek to the bank but generally top notch. Th shill is a killer especially after a long days surfing but it was really nice.

The 400 meter walk up is like a stairway to heaven- long but worth it! Hotel Canaima is simple, but beautiful. The room we had was eco-inspired, and stylish. Moreover, with the great food in Santa Teresa, I really believe that the walk up kept me from gaining 10 more lbs. throughout my stay in Santa Teresa. If you are... More
