The stay where Chris and Beth was spectacular. They were both very friendly. The place is much better than what's shown in the photos. The last part of the road was a little slippery because it is dirt and it rained. But we definitely fell in love with the place and want to come back. Thank you so much Chris and Beth.

The place is very nice and quiet, everything is very clean and Chris was always there to help I would have liked the pool a little more lighting but in general terms the place is a 100

Chris was amazing to work with. We brought our family of 9 to their place and enjoyed grounds. The open air kitchen was a perfect place for us to get together and share stories at the end of fun days exploring, sailing, surfing and shopping. We were in the pool daily. Rooms & bathrooms were comfortable and offered plenty of privacy. An ideal trip for all of us!

The pictures don't do justice to this haven of paradise. The place is good for big groups welcoming families. Everyone has their privacy but the shared kitchen and pool are the gathering places. The employees are helpful and friendly. Chris is attentive to everyone's need, always available when needed and very helpful with local suggestions. He is very quick to find solutions in case of problems. We loved our stay and our departure was heartbroken.

Dharma Shala is a magical place and Chris and Beth are the most wonderful hosts. My family of 4 stayed here for a month and we immediately felt at home. This little paradise is in the perfect location - tucked away in total privacy where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, but close enough to beaches and town to enjoy great food and entertainment. The outdoor kitchen is such a treat, I already miss our family time together there. Chris and Beth were so welcoming and kind. They shared all sorts of interesting knowledge of the area and allowed us to participate in their efforts to tend to their land and grow food. We can't wait to visit again!

Wow! Wow! Wow! What Chris and Beth set up with Dharma Shala is special! Such a magical and peaceful place with so much love in detail. The focus is on nature and that energy is palpable. From homemade soaps, the wonderful outdoor kitchen, organic paths and shapes, the nature pool, to the covered yoga platform in the middle of the forest. It is very clean, thoughtful and built with a great sense of aesthetics. The two are very helpful, open and kind and always have a tip ready. San Juan de Sur can be reached in about 15 minutes by car. The beaches in the area are beautiful We fell in love and will be back for sure. Our daughter misses you already :-) Thanks for everything!!!

It was really fantastic! What a beautifully clean and relaxed stay. Chris and his wife are hugely sweet and helpful people who made our stay very pleasant. He told us a lot about the future plans of their country and the surrounding area. We wish them all the best for the future and highly recommend this accommodation and people!

Our family of 10 enjoyed our stay here. The pictures posted don’t do this place justice! The place is beautiful and well maintained. Location is great and close proximity to the beaches and town center. The host provides delicious breakfast and is very helpful if you have any questions or need help. We will definitely come back next time we visit San Juan del Sur. Recommended 100%.
