Dusty roads, steep hill. You need to be a good driver to drive up the hill and park your car.

The hotel was amazing - relaxing vibe, calmness, amazing pool. Staff was really friendly. We would stay there again! :) The location is not for everyone. It is located in the forest, up in the steep hill. We were travelling with a group of friends (all around 30 y.o.) the walk up to the hotel was a nice workout, but we did not enjoy the dusty road. Overall, we would stay in the hotel again as the location is close by the street food (main road) and a nice beach spot. We have seen some nice birds / monkeys close by the hotel.

Beautiful spot and a very good place to be!!

The rooms could have been cleaner. There was a massive gap below the door of the room which invited many bugs to enter. Noise from other guests could be heard clearly due to the close proximity of the rooms to the pool and jacuzzi area. We had a bottom floor room and the patio offered little privacy and noise from the upstairs guests was astronomical. Getting up the hill was doable in a 4x4 SUV, but the provided parking area was tight enough to raise your blood pressure. Overall experience was not as chill and relaxing as the name suggests.

The property was very cute and is surrounded by nature and lush greenery. The pool is small but was nice during the day, and we were lucky enough to see a troop of capuchin monkeys stop by to get a drink of water from the pool. It is a 5-10 minute walk to the beach and restaurants along Santa Teresa. Extremely walkable area if you don't mind getting in some cardio when climbing back up the steep hill to the property.

Can’t say I didn’t liked it… but the way up to Canaima is challenging and steep at the end, 4x4 is necessary, walks up and down keep in shape. Be aware of the season, in dry seasons it can be very dusty, therefore be careful not to fall.

We had a wonderful stay at Canaima Chill House! The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed! The shower offers a nice view into the forest, a lot of beautiful birds passed by. The veranda was huge and had a swinging bed, perfect place to relax and read. There was even a connection to the kitchen (bar with chairs). The pool was clean and refreshing, once in a while we saw a small group of monkeys. The staff cleaned everything daily as there was a lot of dust swirled up from the dusty road. It didn’t bother us, it’s the season. In general, they were really helpful and taking care of everything.

Bathroom shades didn’t close fully so not a ton of privacy but we didn’t care. Worth it!

Gorgeous room and beautiful views!!

Going uphill was a little difficult especially with the luggage as we did not rent a car or atv. Would be nice if the hairdryers were provided in the accommodation.

Beautiful aesthetic accommodation. Great to relax and enjoy the nature. Kitchen well equipped. Nice common space with jacuzzi. Located not too far from the beach and shops.

it’s in a wild place up the hill and people complain about it but this wasn’t a problem for us. We used it for our exercise but we are young and healthy - if you have knee problems for example this could be a problem but you just need a car or quad. Also this is why sometimes there are leaves in the pool but it’s because it’s in pure nature - we saw monkeys

We loved the hotel - it’s super nice and comfy! You can cook your own meals and properly relax - there was a workers making sure everything clean - they were very friendly!! The rooms are amazing

Location is great if you have a car or STV without it it’s very hard to get there. It’s very uphill

Stayed in February 2024

The big hill, walking up and down it takes only ten mins but it's dusty and lots of ATVs use it so it was not fun for my asthma. If you're planning to walk at night, bring a flashlight for additional safety so folk on the road can see you.

Very relaxing space with great views of the jungle. Loved the pool and garden. Staff were really helpful too.

Although staff was very friendly, i believe the working hours are unusual. Only from 7:00-15:00 and if you need anything after that, its likely you will not get it. If this will be the case, at least leave access to extra towels or basic amenities (especially when a room was not serviced that day)

Very nice facilities. The pool and whirlpool were very nice as well as the chill area.

The road uphill is difficult the property was great

Amenities and the spacious room

A bit far from the town and located on a difficult hill. Power also went out for most of our stay

Beautiful place

It didn't bother me hugely, but there was a slight lack of privacy in the downstairs rooms. I was fine with the trek up the hill - but just be aware that there is one. No bother walking up with a backpack if you are used to that kind of thing. It's only a few minutes and brings you deeper into the forest. Frankly, it is some welcome exercise for those of us coming from a sedentary lifestyle. Very slight nit-picking about first-world problems, but I couldn't get the jacuzzi to work well, but that could be my own fault. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Truly unique and beautiful hotel. Feels like a lot of thought, effort and love has gone into the design. Cool waking up to the howling of the, well, howler monkeys lol. Genuinely very chilled atmosphere, properly up in the jungle, blissfully away from it all. Friendly and helpful, but non-intrusive, staff and owner, Joel and Juan, with useful tips. Great to have a kitchenette. A/c worked ok. The area and town feels safe, so no worries on that front. Arguably located on the busiest and best part of the Santa Teresa strip. Also, minutes away from the Nautilus yoga deck and a few more minutes to Believe lodge (with more yoga) Plunge pool was nice.

Beautiful property 5 mins walk into the main ST strip, close to restaurants and bars. Great amenities for cooking etc. lovely pool and jacuzzi . Lots along wildlife about- saw monkeys, lizards, hummingbirds all whilst staying there. Rooms cleaned every day.

We loved staying here. The hotel is up the hill from the beach but it is walkable otherwise a 4x4 is needed. Once you arrive at the hotel you are in your own haven with a pool, jacuzzi and day beds to help you relax. The rooms are lovely with a hanging double bed and then two single beds in the loft accessible by a bamboo ladder. Joel went out of his way to be helpful and organised a whale watching and snorkelling my trip for us which was one of our highlights of our trip. Would definitely recommend.

The kitchen utensils were a bit poor compared to the rest of the interior. But this was only a minor point of improvement. The road towards the appartement can be a little challenging but that’s part of the adventure.

It was located at a very nice spot and very well maintained. The interior and exterior was tastefully designed and gave a luxury feel. It was great to return after a hot day and cool off in the swimming pool or enjoy the hot tub. The service of the staff was adequate and prompt.

The only thing that bothered me a bit is that the road to the hotel is a dirt road with a serious ascent.

We loved everything. A boutique hotel on the side of the mountain in the forest. Getting up in the morning into the forest and the birds chirping. The rooms are amazingly designed, spacious and beautiful. Comfortable beds and a special shower. A fully equipped and useful kitchen and we loved the balcony with a swing bed hanging from the ceiling. The hotel has a great pool and a large jacuzzi. The staff helped with everything.

Its a really chill house. The vibe was pure pura vida. Room was clean , the staff was very friendly. We enjoyed our stay. Would return for sure!

the street where the house is located is made of sand and it is basically always dusted around. it is not their fault of course, I hope one day the government will make a real street there. the house though, could fix the “problem” of the parking: is the same situation there and the access to it is not good

the personnel is really nice. - ready to help if needed. the chill house is nice and rooms have lot of spaces. common spaces are also really big, with 1 pool and one hot tub, although we stayed mainly in our space or at the sea.

nothing it was perfect

The location was amazing. I love how he felt like we were in the middle of the jungle we even got to see white faced monkeys I cannot express enough that this literally was a chill House, the pool, the hot tub the outdoor sanctuary was amazing and the owner took time to sit with us, and explain what to do and see.

The drains smelled a little but can’t be helped!

This place lives up to its name - it’s super chilled! It’s a lovely, quiet place to relax away from the busy road. The room was lovely, with loads of space and jungle surrounding us. A green oasis! The staff were friendly were helpful too.
