We stayed a month in the Sea Heart cottage and loved it! It had a nice view of the beach from the kitchen window and the sound of the waves lull you to sleep everynight. The prices are very affordable and the cotttage is nice and clean. Kiana help you with any questions or assistance you need. She was great... More

We stayed for a month at Chimuri. We loved our little cottage and the price was right. I cooked a lot of good meals in the kitchen, and the atmosphere was very nice. Kiana was very helpful in every way. I would definitely recommend Chimuri for a long stay in Puerto Viejo. It is a nice walk in the beach... More

We booked my stay at Chimurri from Dec 30, 2012 to Jan 24, 2013 and once again from start to finish it was an absolutely amazing experience! The cottages are simple and clean and have an authentic rustic feel to them. The beautiful Playa Negra is only steps away from the cottage's front door. Kiana welcomed us with open arms.... More

This place was so wonderful for its price. Located on a much more secluded part of the beach, its charm lies in its mellow, laid back atmosphere, matched with a a sense of being connected with the local life here. Once you catch wind of the vegetable and fruit truck schedule, you can buy all the local fruit and vegetables... More

I stayed at Chimuri for the month of September while I volunteered at the Jaquar Rescue Center. It was absolutely wonderful! My cottage (Hawk's Spirit) was beautiful - very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and with everything I needed for my extended stay. And I can't say enough about what a fabulous, welcoming host Kiana is! She was always available to answer... More

The grounds are great, lots of trees, open space, birds, animals and a great dog and cat. The cabins are great too - I was... More

A quiet, simple life is what we were looking for and exactly what we found at Chimuri Beach Retreat! We stayed in a tiny, rustic cottage just steps away from the beach, surrounded by beautiful jungle, and the environment provided the energy we needed to recover from a far too hectic life. Our 3 weeks there were completely rejuvenating! Kiana,... More
