La Shamana - Ecological Concept in Jungle

Echte „Pura Vida“ Wir haben 4 Nächte in der Lodge verbracht und die Gastfreundschaft sowie das Ambiente sehr genossen. Das Anwesen liegt mitten im Jungle, ist über eine gut befahrbare Naturstrasse erreichbar und ist perfekt in die natürliche Umgebung eingebettet. Abgeschiedenheit, Naturnähe, Komfort und Service: alles hat uns gut gefallen.

great location The lodge is great! it situated in the middle of the forest. Every morning we woke up to the roar of the howling monkeys and the chirping of the birds. The lodge is simple and we were disappointed that we could not prepare any hot drinks during our stay. The lodge offered paid breakfast only and fresh drinking water. If we want hot drinks, we had to drive to the nearest town.

The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was awesome! Very unique this place! Family owned Rossy make sure we were comfortable!!!

I stayed three nights, and was satisfied with my booking. The lodge is perhaps 2 miles out of town (Cahuita), and the last half-mile is unpaved: you can use a 2WD but probably feel more comfortable in 4WD, if only for the clearance. There is a central lodge, serving as reception/dining room/lounge, and a number of nearby rooms. Mine was perhaps 50m from the lodge: well appointed and clean. It is not a hotel and you should not expect full hotel facilities: most guests use La Shamana as a base to explore the area. Service was not hotel-level, but always warm, helpful and efficient. Staff are not full-time, but are there to welcome you, cook a fresh and tasty breakfast daily plus dinner if you ask before setting off in the morning. The manager lives on-site: she is often away during the day, but always nearby and can always be contacted by phone/WhatsApp. They have a separate building for functions, and are happy to arrange visiting massage. The forest guide they arranged for me was excellent (fluent Englsah and knowledgeable). The spring-fed semi-natural swimming pool is clear, clean and cool after a sweaty day out. You are very much in the forest, albeit supplemented by careful and colourful planting in the vicinity of the Lodge: my room gave onto a lovely vista of green and colours, and the local troop of howler monkeys was very impressive when they trooped overhead. It was also delightful to lie in bed while a thunderstgorm raged! All in all, thoroughly recommended.

Very beautiful place in the jungle, love the service, the recepcionist was very nice and understanding, clean rooms and great room service,the breakfast was delicious and quick, and the tours where great options and the guide was very nice, would go again I recommend.

Magnifique endroit en plein cœur de la jungle. Nous avions un bungalow de grande taille et bien équipé. La literie était confortable. Les services proposés par le lodge sont impeccables : petit déjeuner, dîner, activités tél que la visite du parc de cahuita. Merci pour la gentillesse de la propriétaire qui a été professionnelle et très arrangeante. Une voiture est nécessaire pour venir ici car un peu excentre de la ville et les taxis sont assez chers. Nous recommandons pour un séjour hors du temps en pleine nature !
