Wonderful place for family. Far enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy all the amenities in the area.

Chachagua exceeded our expectations from the beginning. Great communication, amazing staff, location was ideal if you’re looking to be outside the city to experience the nature of Costa Rica. Perfect for families! I can’t wait to go back.

Amazing stay from start to finish, upon check in Brain at the front desk went above and beyond to show us to our room and around the property. The hot springs were amazing after a long day of activities in town. We were able to see sloths and monkeys while at the property which was amazing. I would highly recommend staying here.

We loved our bungalow in the rainforest and will definitely be coming back! We were very relaxed and loved listening to the sounds of the jungle around us in our private bungalow. The staff was very friendly and the food was all delicious asking with an amazing assortment of incredible drinks. I wish we had stayed longer because they offered so much on the property and a ton of tours and excursions around the area that I wish I had made Chachagua our whole trip. This was a great way to start our honeymoon and made us instantly relaxed.

This property was amazing! The staff is so wonderful and made our stay extra special. We enjoyed the hot springs and all of the tours at the property. Bryan made any and ALL requests so easy, and Reuben took us on a hike and horse back riding trip and they were perfect. We felt a sense of exploration and relaxation all at times. The town of chachaugua is only a short distance away and had a fantastic little soda with pizza and empanadas, and a ice cream shop that had $1 ice cream… I cannot say enough about how special this hotel and staff is. We 100% would return and recommend.

Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were super luxurious for the cost, and our two bedroom/two bathroom, private patio and pool was phenomenal. Staff was beyond just friendly - engaging, curious, fun. The food was excellent, and having rain forest trails and hot springs on the property that were never crowded was awesome. Everything start to finish was outstanding - shout outs to Brayan, Pamela, Jonathan, Dennis, Karen, Fabian, and Anthony in particular - our family really appreciated the hospitality and would recommend to anyone looking for a rainforest adventure.

The hot tub in our room was fantastic! The privacy for the rooms with hot tubs really needs to be improved. The outdoor shower is cool, but not when people can see you from both sides! Same for the hot tub. It also would have been a lot nicer if you could drive yourself to and from your room versus waiting for someone else to get you, especially since sometimes the wait time was lengthy. The hot springs would be more enjoyable if they weren’t right beside the restaurant due to noise and people just sitting there watching you. The water temperature was very relaxing and the water slide into the pool was awesome! Overall the hotel was nice, I just wish privacy would have been considered more in the treehouse room design.

This was the most beautiful, most relaxing, and friendliest place ever. All the staff were so kind and welcoming. Upon checking in, the staff had drinks and towels for us. They showed us to our room and explained how organic and eco friendly everything was. Our room was private with a patio that had a hammock. The pools were clean and relaxing. Not crowded. The food was delicious, they were constantly feeding us. It rained during our trip but it was still so relaxing and we were still able to squeeze in a lot. We did horse back riding, hiked the property on our own, swam. Everything was clean. The staff were so kind and always made sure we were taken care of. I would come back again for a longer stay!
