Pros:

I absolutely loved it! An exceptional experience from start to finish. The room was spotless, and the decor struck the perfect balance between beautiful and serene, it instantly puts you in a zen state of mind. The views were stunning, and the outdoor shower and Jacuzzi were a personal highlight, such a lovely touch.
The staff truly stood out: warm, attentive, and always smiling. Being able to reach them via WhatsApp for anything you need was incredibly convenient and made the stay feel effortless.
Breakfast was a delight, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The location is also excellent.
As someone who is genuinely hard to impress, I can say without hesitation: this is a solid 10/10. Highly recommended!

Exceptional and unique with fabulous staff and service.
Pros:

Our tented accommodation was beautiful, unique and very comfortable. The outside shower was gorgeous and can’t believe it came with a full inside bathroom and kitchen with gorgeous products. The location was an easy walk to town, although a cab required back due to a steep hill. Absolutely stunning.

Best experience we had in Costa Rica
Pros:

My wife and I really enjoyed the entire experience at Chira Glamping for the 2 night stay we booked.
The tent space offered full privacy, was well appointed both inside the tent itself and on the deck. We especially enjoyed watching the sunset from the hot tub. Bed was incredibly comfortable and allowed for a nice rest after a long day of local activities.
It's not an easy property to navigate if you have any ambulatory conditions due to the hills, but the views are absolutely spectacular as they overlook Monteverde all the way to the Nicoya Peninsula.
Staff was super welcoming and offered great advice for restaurants and getting around town.
If you go, try to get a sunset dinner reservation at San Lucas Restaurant. The service and food were the best we experienced in all of Costa Rica and were well worth the splurge.
Special thanks to both Emil for his hospitality and to Fabio for making our dinner experience at San Luca so memorable!

Amazing value for money
Pros:

Amazing location, nice and secluded in nature but not too far off from town. Staff was extremely friendly and couldn't have done more for you. Hot tub ready to go, free snacks and drinks

Amazing stay as a family
Pros:

Chira was nothing short of amazing. The view. The amenities. The staff. It was all phenomenal.

We stayed for 3 nights as a family of 5 in the family dome. And wish we could have stayed longer. The beds were comfy. Our kids (5,8,11) enjoyed the rock climbing wall, slide and piano.
The private hot tub on the deck was the perfect way to watch the sun go down.

Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. And the breakfast staff were kind and attentive.

Emel at the front desk/concierge was welcoming and so helpful.

Would love to stay at this amazing property again some day.

Magical. Highly recommend.
Pros:

We were a family of 4 - two adults, a tween, and a teen. We loved the view, but also the privacy and space in our unit. It was so much better than we even imagined, which is good because they are quite expensive even by US standards. Breakfast was good and service was terrific everywhere. It was worth the splurge. We also loved the town of Santa Elena. Definitely eat at the Tree House. The food and service were incredible - the best we found in Costa Rica.

Cons:

No fault of Chira glamping, but getting there was a real challenge. Do not use Waze if flying into Liberia! Give yourself more time than you think you need, and plan not to drive at night. The roads truly are horrendous, but if you have the time, it can be worth the adventure.

Incredible views, unique experience, great service
Pros:

Views!! Unique experience, attentive customer service, great location central to various monteverde attractions/sites.

Cons:

The large sliding door over kitchen area was a bit cumbersome, and we would have appreciated a deadbolt on the main door so that our toddler couldn't open it by himself.

Best way to celebrate my 50th birthday
Pros:

I wanted something truly unique to celebrate my 50th birthday, and Chira definitely fit the bill. My husband booked both Chira and San Lucas as my birthday gift, and it was worth every penny.

We had a long journey from Papagayo (approximately three hours), but everything was perfectly organised. Emily was fantastic — she not only booked our stay at Chira but also arranged our transportation from the hotel, a table at San Lucas, and an excursion into the cloud forest. She was absolutely brilliant and made the whole experience seamless.

On arrival at Chira, we received a lovely warm welcome and were offered a refreshing cold drink. We were given all the information we needed about our room, dinner, and the excursion planned for the following day before being taken to our room, Sunset. From the moment we walked in, I was completely awestruck.

As you enter the room, you immediately notice the large pod that houses the bedroom. Outside, there is a table and chairs, along with a well-equipped kitchen stocked with snacks and drinks, which we made good use of. The bathroom was large and spacious, with toiletries and everything you could possibly need for your stay. Outside on the decking there was a BBQ, another table with two chairs, an incredible glass shower (which felt wonderfully surreal), and the most fantastic hot tub.

The bedroom itself was just perfect — a huge, comfortable bed with super-warm bedding, a TV with Netflix, a hanging rail, and plenty of drawers for storage. I usually need complete darkness to sleep, but we kept the curtains open all night. The whole place was spotlessly clean.

Once we had unpacked, we took time to soak in the magnificent views. At times, the clouds covered the local town, but when they cleared, the views were absolutely breath taking. We got changed and headed straight for the hot tub, drinks and snacks in hand. Being so high up, surrounded by forest, was an incredible experience. Afterwards, we used the glass shower, which was completely unique.

After dinner, we sat out on the decking. Although it was too dark to see anything, listening to the sounds of the animals around us was magical. We both slept incredibly well and didn’t want to get up the next morning — I was genuinely sad we had only booked one night.

On our way to breakfast, I was thrilled to see coatis, which are very raccoon-like. There were loads of them, and I spent most of breakfast watching them and taking photos. Breakfast itself was delicious, with plenty of choice: pastries, yoghurts, cereals, omelettes, and various egg options.

The whole experience made my birthday extra special. As we were leaving, we were given a sloth Christmas tree decoration, which was such a thoughtful touch. I would absolutely recommend Chira, and if we are ever back in the area, we will definitely return.
