“Lovely hotel and spacious rooms, very loud and bo sound proofing at all.”
The room and the outside areas were really nice, staff were helpful when around. It had a well equipped kitchen which allowed us to cook most nights which is great as Santa teresa restaurants can be expensive.

The appartment is spacious and has all the basics. Bed is confortable. Swimming pool is nice. The employees are really kind and are keeping the place clean. I'm not putting a lower rate because of them.

“Mixed stay”
The staff was very nice and the room was clean. Beautiful building and located in the middle of the rainforest. The road in was quite bad, but read about that before and was doable with a low clearance 4x4. The hot tub and swimming pool we're luxurious (a couple sharp edges underwater in the hot tub though. Cut my foot a bit). The room was spacious and beautiful with the large windows. We did see someone walk past above, so I'd close the curtains for some privacy. Would've really enjoyed the stay if it was quiet and if there was power.

“Very enjoyable. Be ready for a hike if you you will not be getting a 4x4, as its 400m uphill”
Very nice facilities. The pool and whirlpool were very nice as well as the chill area.

“Nice place a little abroad from main street of santa teresa”
Beautiful little space in the jungle a little abroad the main street of santa teresa. it is really a place where there it is more quiet. Surrounding and design is beautiful and the rooms are very big I feel. The vibe of this place is amazing and really "chilly"

“Relaxed stay in chilled-out and unique jungle lodge.”
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 place, we would like to come back!”
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.

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