The eco-friendly concept and the location are nice. But “eco-friendly” doesn’t mean “dirty.” The room smelled like cigarettes, and the pool is actually a pond full of toads… The place has potential, but because of details like these, it’s not worth the price.

SPECTACULAR! It's a magical place… Jessica and her team have been super attentive and made us feel at home. It is located in the middle of the forest (you have to go by car), and you can see and hear multiple animals, making every corner you look at beautiful. The rooms are very nice and comfortable. We were able to enjoy the night tour they offer with Rodolfo and his partner and it was very worthwhile, we were able to see snakes, spiders, frogs, a lazy bear... The breakfast was very good and the pool is beautiful. It's worth staying there for a few days to enjoy the experience. If we ever return to Cahuita, we'll definitely choose them again for our stay!

A home immersed in nature. Ideal for those people who seek that connection with the forest, with animals. It felt like camping. A very nice experience and the staff are very helpful.

Absolutely gorgeous environment and warm-hearted hosts! However, instead of nature you hear the neighbors and it’s not that easy to find.

We only stayed at Shamana for one night. We really liked the room with bathroom. Breakfast very good and people all very friendly and helpful. The rooms are not well insulated, you could hear the other guests well at normal volume. You can hear the sounds of nature which we liked very much. A beautiful place, thank you

The Ecolodge is in the middle of the jungle and you are surrounded by nature, birdsong, howler monkeys and one or the other spider. Pure nature. In the accommodation itself, however, everything is nice and clean and a mosquito net protects against the mosquitoes. If you want a nature experience in a beautifully furnished lodge, this is the place to be
