A wonderful place in the middle of the jungle with an amazing view from your bed.
But if you stay there you have to be a friend of spiders. There are a lot around the accomodation.
Very nice accommodation literally in the middle of the jungle. The rooms are surrounded by pure nature. Great place to disconnect from the outside world: no TV, no A/C (not needed as it was cool enough end of September), lots of birds and monkeys outside. Only thing I would improve is the water pressure in the shower. We were lucky enough that there were no other guests in the property, so it was very quiet all the time, except for the howling monkeys early in the morning, but come on, you’re in their habitat 🐒
Amazing immersion experience in the jungle. The grounds and the 360 experience cabin were so beautiful. Included breakfast was super fresh and delicious each morning and we were able to get laundry service on site. The cabin has interior walls, full bathroom and functional kitchen with propane cooktop, fridge and cooking utensils. The exterior walls are mesh, with privacy curtains if you feel the need. The location is towards the edge of the property, and while you are close to everything, you never feel exposed. The wildlife is LOUD in the mornings, so awesome. Expect some bugs, small gecko's inside, but the beds are set up with mosquito nets as well. wifi in the cabin was a bit patchy, but strong in the peaceful common area close by.
The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was awesome! Very unique this place! Family owned Rossy make sure we were comfortable!!!

Nice stay in the jungle 10 min by car from Cahuita
Nice stay! note that the lodge is 10 minutes far away from Cahuita by car for 5000 colones. Or if you have a car its olay
Nice rooms and bathroom. Shared areas nice. Possibility of good breakfast and dinners. Owners kind :)

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.

La Shamana is definitely all about the nature!!! The property is perfect to be away from it all, but make sure you have what you need before you head in for the day/night. The road in/out is a bit tricky, steep and rocky so 4x4 is a requirement. Also, for me, it felt like we needed to be super quiet to not disturb others at night... I am not sure if this the case, but worth an ask before booking if you have night owl tendencies like me because there is no one to ask at night besides the monkeys and sloths :-D

You will not be able to wear shoes which would not be a problem normally but at this hotel you will have to walk down 1in x4in planks that are loose and popping up at times several feet above the ground. Not having AC and hot water weren’t a big deal in October but I did not expect low safety standards. I felt like I was going to fall through the planks several times.

My friend and I stayed at La Shamana for one night and it was such a lovely experience! We were greeted by Rossy who was so kind and welcoming. Our room was stunning with a beautiful view of the jungle and a great big shower. We could hear lots of nature sounds from our room and were woken by howler monkeys in the middle of the night - a bit of a scary sound at first, but it turned into kind of a beautifully unique experience (they are known to be the loudest land animal on earth!). Rossy made us a delicious breakfast in the morning which we had in the beautiful common area. I would definitely come back here on my next trip to Costa Rica and i would highly recommend this place to others!! A couple of things to note: 1) the road to get to La Shamana is a little bumpier but we were fine with our 2-wheeler (i think we would have had an issue if it was raining though)… 2) there is no air conditionning in the rooms, but we had a ceiling fan and it was very comfortable!
This place is a sham! First off they approved early check in and when we got there they said it wasn’t ready so we had to wait around. There were people cutting the trees all day which was so noisy and defeated the calming
Retreat we wanted. The pool had so many dead bugs in it we didn’t want to swim. The hot water in the room was non existent and the water pressure was a trickle. We could hear every single thing the people next door did, from talking to showering and using the restroom. It’s much further from the main road than 1 mile and they don’t offer any beverages, snacks etc for sale. When we asked to leave a day early because we weren’t happy and didn’t want to endure more cold showers and hearing the neighbors they denied us a refund. We checked out by 10am and left the room in tip top shape. We had Expedia contact them and they still denied us a refund. We wasted $244 but only wanted a refund for the 1 night we didn’t stay. This place is nothing as advertised! The owners are rude when they don’t like what you have to say. The walkways are rock and mud, the wooden slats on the way to the rooms feel like they are going to snap at any moment. The bedding smelled like it was washed in dirty water and the mosquito nets around the bed were old and dirty. Stay far far away from this place!
Par où commencer.
Mon séjour à la Shamana était une expérience en soi.
La loge, située au milieu de la jungle, est entourée de singes hurleurs et de plein d’autres animaux et insectes — la biodiversité est à son comble. Elle dispose d’une grande cuisine communautaire où l’ambiance est chaleureuse.
Le service était personnalisé et l’hôte, Jessica, était tout à fait à l’écoute des besoins des résidents.
Elle a réussi à nous guider dans des activités qui nous ressemblent et elle était d’une grande aide pour trouver les meilleurs spots en ville, allant des restaurants et plages aux activités. Nous avons su trouver notre rythme.
Lorsque nous avons eu besoin de conseils ou d’aide, elle a toujours su nous répondre et être proactive, ce qui nous a apporté une grande paix et un sentiment de sécurité.
Beaucoup de filles et de femmes séjournent à La Shamana justement pour ce sentiment de paix et de réciprocité qui assure une sécurité incomparable. Les solo travelers peuvent vraiment s’y sentir en sécurité et en confiance.
Une business locale owned and ruled by women, qui a rendu ma première expérience au Costa Rica clairement inoubliable.
Merci au staff, à Jessica et aux deux mascottes et accompagnatrices de tous les déjeuners, Maria Theresa et Princessa 🐈🐈⬛ (les deux chats).
The rooms are beautiful, the wildlife abundant and the host, Jessica, was very helpful at answering questions and providing recommendations and she cooked a wonderful breakfast! I really loved the natural pool, and there were several great tours offered by a local guide, Rodolfo. The only comment I would make was my concern over a couple of domestic cats that were allowed outside on the property. I intercepted one of them hunting birds and lizards a few times. I understand it is somewhat socially acceptable in Costa Rica to let domestic cats roam, but from a North American perspective it's generally not acceptable as they are responsible for millions of bird deaths annually. If the cats are going to be outside I would hope they could get collars with bells on them to reduce wildlife mortality because otherwise everything about this resort is very ecologically focused. This one thing just didn't fit with that vibe.
Perdu dans la jungle , chambre avec vue qur la jungle et ses occupants .
Nous avons eu un petit spucis de fuite dans la salle de bain qui a été vite pris en charge en nous proposant une autre chambre.
Le petit dejeuner pourrait etre amélioré avec peut etre un choix de plats
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.

Un endroit à découvrir absolument!
Séjour magnifique, l’endroit est idyllique, perdu au milieu de la jungle. C’est génial, on peut y voir de nombreux animaux, l’ambiance est magique! En plus l’accueil est parfait, les personnes qui tiennent l’hôtel sont très sympathiques et font tout pour rendre le séjour encore mieux!
Lovely rooms and bathrooms. Wifi spotty. Instructions to find the lodge could be more explanatory and in English too. Cleaning staff helpful and friendly

Tolle Lodge mit viel Charme.
Es war ein gelungener Aufenthalt und wir würden die Lodge jederzeit weiterempfehlen. Etwas abgelegen ist die Lodge über eine unbefestigte Strasse mit dem Auto gut erreichbar. Die Kommunikation hat hervorragend über WhatsApp funktioniert. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich und wir haben uns gleich wohl gefühlt. Das kleine Zimmer mit grosszügiger Dusche war wie auf den Bildern und hübsch aber dezent eingerichtet. Die Aussicht aus dem Zimmer in den Wald war grandios. Beachte: Die Unterkunft ist mitten im Regenwald, wooow! Wir haben Affen, Kolibris, Faultiere und viele andere Tiere aus dem Zimmer beobachten können. Die Zimmer sind leider ein bisschen hellhörig. Damit meinen wir nicht die Brüllaffen und Frösche etc. die man sowieso durch die teilweise offenen, mit Mückennetz geschützten Wände hört (man hat das Gefühl mitten im Wald zu schlafen), sondern wir meinen die teilweise rücksichtslosen Zimmernachbarn, welche nachts noch laut telefonieren oder quatschen. Da kann man aber durchaus darüber hinweg schauen. Das Frühstück für einen kleinen Aufpreis ist es Wert. Und die Gastgeberin hat uns auch noch Tipps und Kontakte für Ausflüge gegeben. Somit ein sehr gelungener Aufenthalt.

Cuidado con el personal
La ubicación del lugar es espectacular, inmerso en la montaña, el problema fue con las toallas, olían horrible y con el trato de la persona contacto, Rossy, poco amable, intensa con el cobro de un extra que debíamos cancelar, intensa con la hora de los desayunos, se trata de vacaciones y se requiere tranquilidad.
Lejos del centro, así que es vital contar con transporte propio.

Expected more from our stay
We had a nice stay here and enjoyed the Caribbean side of CR. We were however not impressed by this accommodation, in our opinion it did not deliver enough value for the money we paid.
The breakfast is very nice and the chef very friendly, but that was excluded and cost extra.
All minimum services are there, but we have stayed at better places for less money and better hospitality.
I guess my suggestion would be to either make it an AirBnB where the guest can use the shared kitchen, or be indeed a full service hotel and go the extra mile reflecting this price.
La beauté des lieux et les déjeuners sur place avec du personnel efficaces et gentils. Ce que nous avons le moins apprécié était d’entendre les voisins des autres chambres. Pour le reste, tout est impeccable!
Eine wirklich super Unterkunft mitten im Dschungel.
Man hat das, dass man draußen schläft.
Mit etwas Glück kann man auch Affen beobachten.
Ansonsten ist es eine super Unterkunft um abzuschalten.
