Chilamate Holiday House

Lined along Playa Negra, one of Puerto Viejo's darker-sand stretches on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, Chilamate Holiday House sits beside Casa Amma with direct garden access toward the shore — a self-contained base for snorkelers, cyclists, and families wanting a kitchen-equipped retreat away from the busier Cocles corridor.

The ground-floor house runs a full kitchen with stovetop, refrigerator, and coffee machine, plus a private patio with outdoor furniture. Mosquito nets, hardwood floors, and daily housekeeping reflect the jungle-adjacent setting. Bicycle rental is available on-site, and canoeing, diving, and horseback riding can all be arranged from the property.

Puerto Viejo village — with its restaurants and bus connections to Limón — is a short ride north. Parking on-site makes this practical for guests arriving by rental car from San José.
