Authentic Caribbean beach retreat

I stayed 3 weeks at Chimuri Beach retreat during the less crowded and drier fall season, and I was happy to find that it was just like it was described and pictured on the website. I wanted a quiet beach retreat instead of a more typical vacation spot, and Chimuri is a great place to enjoy the beach and the peaceful garden setting at a low cost.
The Austrian born hostess, Kiana, has lived in the Puerto Viejo area for 30 years and was welcoming and gracious. She is well connected with the yoga and spiritual healing community, and her new gazebo and private room is a beautiful ocean view spot for yoga and massages at Chimuri Beach.
Kiana is also a practitioner of Johrei, a Japanese tradition of offering and receiving healing light and love. She generously offers Johrei to her community and guests, and all donations go to the international Johrei organization.
As an Arizona retreat owner (spiritfallsretreat.com), I appreciated the warm welcome and the private personal space that Chimuri Beach offers. It seems ideal for those interested in yoga, healing, meditation, and creative arts...and it is a wonderfully affordable place to relax and enjoy an authentic Caribbean beach retreat.

I highly recommend the Chimuri cottages! Mauricio and Colocha are excellent hosts, the cottages are cozy, clean and they provide you access to filtered water so you don't have to worry about buying/wasting plastic bottles. It's set back in a garden, making it very private and beautiful. We stayed there for a couple of weeks and loved it! Will definitely be back again.
