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!

The howler monkeys, bats and humming birds made this place really unique. And the cooling pool after hot days was most welcome.

Wonderful property, with beautiful loft suite! Amazing private outdoor area. Pool is beautiful and property is quite private in general. Very steep hill getting to property. Loved our stay!

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.

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

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.

Only issue was the seemingly endless traffic within close proximity to the location in early morning

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.

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!

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.
5.0
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.

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.

The family really liked this property. Kids loved the beds in the loft area. It was a fun environment. Quiet, tucked away from the town. Roads to the property were steep and parking was a little tricky.

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.
4.0
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.

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🌊🐳🙏

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.

Canaima Chill House was amazing. It definitely had a chill vibe. The room was beautiful with a big Queen Size bed, in the kitchen there is a two burner gas stove and dishes, The longe area had a four person table for meals with a very cool hanging bed to chill on. The common area provided a hot tub if you wanted more heat! two longe chairs, bean bag chairs, a pit with cushions to enjoy. There was a small pool which was prefect to cool off in after a hot day at the beach. The only issue we had with this accommodation was the road to the location. It was very steep with large dips in the road due to the rainy season our RAV 4 bottomed out twice going up. We decided to rent a 4X4 which was a lot of fun and easier to get up the hill and around Santa Teresa. At the bottom of the road to the right were some wonderful restaurants to enjoy.

Such a lovely place to stay! So peaceful and out of the noise of the Santa Teresa main streets. Up a very steep hill! I stayed here without a car so climbed up and down at least 2-3 times per day. Worth it for an able bodied person! Note that reception is not open in the evenings but is accesible by phone for emergencies.

Great outdoor areas to chill and listen to the jungle. The room exceeded my expectations, very large and comfortable and stylish. Very peaceful location. I did not have a vehicle, but the walk to the Main Street is very doable. It is only about a quarter mile, unpaved and rocky, steep in some places. It took me 5 minutes to walk down and 8 minutes to walk up. There are several restaurants at bottom of hill, and a beach path directly across from road. Taxi rides further into town were around 6-8000 Colons ($10-12). Wish I could have stayed longer, highly recommended and great price for the area.

The while place was stunning. The swinging beds on our private patio and by the nice cool pool were a big highlight for me, as well as the glass shower area looking into the jungley yard. The hill up is no joke. I almost rolled our 4 wheeler but I also have very little experience driving them.

I loved everything about this place I stayed there for 8 days and had a wonderful time the place is gorgeous with friendly people and very confortable I do recommend having a car or some kine of transportation because the hotel is up a hill and going up and down is a workout on it own

I really enojyed the calm and peace i got in this place.The parking space is tricky and might require some strategic management even if you drive a 4x4 because of the ammounts of vehicles there. i arrived at 1am and there was no space available, so I had to left my car inthe steet.

We spent six nights here and loved it. We really appreciated the location away from the dusty and busy main road. However the road leading up to the hotel is really bad, worse condition than expected but since we had a 4WD car it wasn’t problem for us. Nice rooms and kitchen. Enjoyed making our own breakfast and eating on our balcony every morning. Our only remark is that it would have been nice providing pool towels since they do have a pool. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet and relaxed stay.

Liked the loft rooms secluded location with balcony and hanging bed overlooking the jungle and pool area. Also the shower with large window view of the tropical plants was pretty nice, but had to play with the shower water temperature. Queen bed was on the firm side but comfortable. You need to be nimble on a steep ladder to access the lofts twin bed section. A/C functioned well and the kitchenette with 2 burner stove, mini fridge, plates and utensils served our needs. The minor drawback was the 400 meter uphill climb from the beach to the house. Easy with a 4 wheel drive, but could be a challenge if you are walking with a load. You could also hear any vehicles making their way up that hill by the house - though far less busy than the beach road below. Staff is very friendly. Enjoyed our stay.
2.5
Pretty amazing and unique even though it is missing some things that others have like a restaurant and breakfast, still worth it. It offers a kitchen to cook in.
