I actually stayed here in 2008 but am unable to make that selection for the review. I stayed here with a friend and had a great time. The yoga classes were GREAT, the rooms were nice but rustic and bare. The view from our cabin was really amazing and I wish we had used our patio more. If you are... More

& will return! Great staff! FANTASTIC food! Wonderful hikes & lush greenery. Some confusion in the beginning about noise but I would change questions on my return with requests for the outer lodgings as opposed to the center of activity. Everything pristine from the outside structures to the absolutely beautiful inside accomodations. Surroundings were out of this world with color... More

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and don't regret the decision one bit. It was a LivingSocial.com deal so the price was a total steal and included everything but airfare. All transportation from the moment we landed, to every excursion and back home was perfectly arranged. Weather... it is a rainforest! Look up when the driest seasons... More

All I can say is "Wow!" This place is amazing! Not what I expected considering it's remote location. The property is located on a hillside in the rain forest with a spectacular view of the ocean. We could spot toucans and sloths from the balcony. The accomodations were clean and contemporary. The food, I must say, was spectacular! I still... More

I can't even begin to describe how pleased my husband and I were with Samasati. It truly was everything we'd hoped for and more! Liseth was a huge help to us even before we got there, and gave us advice and assistance with everything from transportation to even recommending hotels in San Jose for us to stay in. Being vegetarians... More

It was a pleasure not to see major hotels in the area so that the native flora & fauna & citizens could be appreciated. I'm still raving over the delicious vegetarian meals that were served in your dining room and I am definitely NOT a vegetarian. The housing at Samasati was clean and comfortable and we didn't miss TV or... More

My stay at Samasati Nature Retreat was better than expected. It's the perfect spot for any nature lover and health advocate. I've stayed in lots of hotels over the years. Some very fancy and some very shabby. At Samasati, like Goldilocks, I could finally say, this is just right. All the creature comforts were there as well as the added... More

Nothing can describe the energy of place till you get there. It's a hike up the mountain (Don't worry, a 4x4 takes you up there) and then you are in the rain forest, with Caribbean views. The staff is super friendly and the food is wonderful. A great buffet with all you need. Rooms are great and very spacious, and... More

The other reviews are accurate about the awesome food and jungle setting! We had an amazing time! That said, be aware that the bungalows are rustic; no air conditioning and lots of bugs (but it IS the jungle). You could find a room in town for about $20, rather than the Samasati price of $150-250/night. It just depends if you... More

There are many reasons people travel, but if one of these is to return to your natural self, your natural rhythm and nature's way, then Samasati is for you. Sure you have to deal with the elements, and for those who need every creature comfort, be warned. But that is what makes Samasati so special. Despite the creatures, you can... More
