I spent a week here on the top floor of Bungalow 9 high up facing the top of trees. The howler monkeys woke me up in the morning, and with my binoculars I saw the toucans the first morning I was there and many times afterward. There are no windows, just screens so I felt at one with nature, listening... more

This yoga retreat was truly a retreat. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle of life. you are secluded in a rainforest, with nothing but your thoughts and maybe a good book... The food was AMAZING!!! I took home a few recipes, they should have a cookbook, seriously...It's a supreme vegetarian cuisine... even non vegetarians would like... The view is... more

I went to Samasati for a yoga retreat. The bungalows are set underneath the canopy of the rain forest. You are surrounded by nature, nothing else. You are awoken every morning by monkeys, if you stay in Bungalow 9, there may be a Toucan every morning outside your window in the upper bunk. The cabins are basic, but it is... more

Samasati is beautiful. The management and staff are exceptional, go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible and are incredibly pleasant. My stay was during the 6 month (May - November) rainy season and they are not kidding. It rained all but 2 of the 16 days I was there. My stay was from July... more

I stayed with my boyfriend at Samasati in August 2008 for two weeks. We picked this place because we wanted to have a very relaxing and the same time adventurous vacation in nature preferably in the rainforest. We heard about Samasati through friends who loved their stay there and we got very much turned on by them sharing their experiences.... more

My husband and I stayed at Samasati over Christmas and New Year's and it was wonderful. We wanted the remote location and weren't so in to Yoga, but we found we enjoyed doing Yoga and there was no pressure that we should participate unless we felt like it. The rooms are well built and clean - much better than most... more

Upon arrival we were picked up from the airport - very convenient! The drive was long, but worth it. We arrived at night were greeted by a friendly staff member. They upgraded us due to the low number of guests that week. The toilet was not working, but after using minimal Spanish, we got it worked out. There were occasion... more

Wasn't too sure what to expect after reading the reviews, but I have to say my stay at Samasati was completely relaxing. The cabin was basic but clean- I always had hot water, the staff - incredibly accomodating, all the excursions I did were fantastic (waterfall, the shaman tour and the canopy tour (highly recommend!). I heard positive feedback on... more
