I'm surprised by the 5 star ratings of the Chill House. It is a chill jungle oasis with an uphill hike from town, but I was expecting a little more. The grounds were dirty and unkept, ie:leaves in the pool, dirty cushions on chill deck, soap scum on shower window, sink basin, stained linens, broken hot tub..It wasn't perfect. The... More

We recently just met up with some friends at Canaima Chill House for the first time. They were there 2 years ago for their honeymoon and had could not wait to go back. Immediately upon getting out of the car I was in love with Canaima. You can not help but immediately feel relaxed. The staff member who greeted us... More

Canaima Chill House was just what my fiance and I needed for our vacation. We spent 6 days/5 nights at Canaima and loved every minute of it. It's tucked away in the trees of Santa Teresa and really is a hidden gem. As long as you're able to walk up and down the long hill that leads to Canaima, the... More

Canaima chill house is an oasis of casual luxury within the small surfing area of Santa Teresa. You will enjoy of stillness, silence, and simplicity, a welcome retreat of peace after spending the day exploring the jungle and riding the waves.

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.

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
