Nature pure, great staff and apartment. Highly recommend

Liked:Fantastic location in the jungle and wild life. The staff is super friendly and helpful. You need a car to make it easier to get to. No 4x4 required. The natural pool is awesome. It is all pure nature. Specious apartment with kitchen. Great fresh beast in the morning. Stayed for 3 nights. Easy to get to all the places around it. Again you need a car.

Disliked:Nothing

Cool experience, but go with the right expectations

Liked:This place is very unique and nothing like anywhere we ever stayed before. Especially if you book the room with the jungle views, it’s pretty incredible. Beds were quite comfy and the best part was the jungle shower! Extremely clean room. Very modern and stylish room, and the natural pool was very enjoyable. Jess gave us a super warm welcome and was incredibly helpful throughout our stay!

Disliked:While we overall enjoyed the experience, there are a few things to be aware of before booking here: 1) The location while amazing, is not easy to navigate without a car. We didn’t have a car and read that it was walkable into town. But the place is so hidden up on an extremely steep hill and a long way away from the town with no footpaths to walk on, it’s not a very doable walk in the heat. Uber worked really well for us as a way to manage this, but it’s an additional cost to consider. When we arrived with a shared shuttle, he refused to drive us all the way up because it was too steep, so we had a not so great start chugging our big backpacks up to the location on an extremely steep road and in the heat. When we checked out we needed to get to the main road to take transport to our next location, and asked if someone was available for the short drive to help us with our bags so we didn’t have to carry them down the steep hill, but they weren’t able to help. 2) This accommodation is zero sound proof. Due to how it’s built, you can hear everything that happens in your neighbours room, including toilet visits, snoring, and conversations. Don’t expect a restful sleep here. 3) You are in the middle of the jungle so be aware there a plenty of creepy crawlies around. Our room had two lizards when we arrived, a few bugs throughout the stay, and there are huge spiders everywhere around the lodge (those were not in our room). For us this was okay, and the room has a big screen at the window and mosquito nets, but for someone who is scared of spiders this might be an issue. 4) Just highlighting the rooms have no aircon for environmental reasons. The fan isn’t very powerful so doesn’t help much. Just be prepared to be very hot and sweaty for the duration of the stay, and bed linen to be moist/ clothes not to dry due to the humidity. Again, totally okay for us, but something to be mindful of.

Authentic Eco-lodge isolated in the jungle with genuinely nice and caring staff.

Liked:This was a real authentic communitary-style accomodation isolated from a relatively touristic coast region. The term Ecolodge is no exageration, we were in the middle of the jungle and the lodge staff hold dear to the ecologic values. They also cook homemade breakfast and diners, very ellaborate and different everytime. They are genuinely caring and welcoming, shout-out to Anna on site who is extremely nice. If you are looking for an authentic and friendly community vibe, do not hesitate and book at La Shamana.

Disliked:Just beware if you are scared of spiders. They should not be any in your room/bungalow but you will see some in the lodge.
