Sometimes things go wrong, that can't be avoided... but it's how a place responds that sets it apart. Our fridge died and all our food went bad, plus we had hot water issues. The staff and management went above and beyond to make it right. Thank you! The restaurant and pool are amazing. We loved having a deck and a place to cook meals.

Ac was good! But only in the room, which is ok for me. The ocean view was nice view with 2 confortable chairs and hamac for the late drinks and morning coffee! But the ocean is no close enough to listen to the waves. Bed mattress are bad, way too soft, you will sink in. Also 220V electricity Europe style 2, but the reception has adapter (no converters to 110V

Happy about our stay at Chogogo.

We enjoyed our stay at Chogogo. The furnishings were somewhat spartan but very clean. We loved the view from our balcony - the beautiful gardens and birds. The overall atmosphere of the grounds was relaxing and inviting.

They tout being green, but then there are wooden slats, no glass in the bathroom windows and front door allowing in the heat. The air conditioning just didn’t cool the room even when we kept the bathroom door shut. We were given two bath towels and two pool towels. When we requested additional towels for drying our hands, it was as if we were asking a lot. The restaurant and service was good but one afternoon we had to leave because there was such a bad sewer smell. I would not recommend this resort with three tv channels and two Dutch channels for early morning and bedtime viewing.

basic but okay

Chogogo is the oldest resort in Jan Thiel Beach. The 2 bedroom appartments are spacious and clean. The landscaping is beautiful, very lush. You will have a great time in Jan Thiel Beach, with shops, ocean, diving, restaurants all within walking distance. There's a busstop just infront of the resort that will take you into the city. Just don't expect too much comfort staying at Chogogo. Beds are terrible, waterpressure in the shower is minimal, as is the service at the frontdesk.

The quality of materials (furnishings, kitchen, etc), was not very nice. Very sparse rooms, air conditioning in only the bedroom. Kitchen was too basic, only 2 burner stove and small refrigerator. Bed only had a sheet, no blanket. The living room only had 2 sitting chairs, no couch. Too basic for us.

Room was very clean and the front desk staff were all very friendly and helpful. The unit was spacious with a beautiful veranda and a hammock. Resort is very quiet which is nice especially at night (after midnight). However note that a few days a week they have live music and DJs at the beach club until 12am so the noise does travel (not an issue for us but some might find it a bit loud). The room could use a bit more light as it was very dim. Things to note: -They provide Shampoo/Conditioner (bring your own body wash). -They provide hair dryer - You can get free bus tickets from front desk to get the bus into Willemstad. - They have free laundry facilities (3 washers and 1 dryer). I could only get 1 washer working but it did the job. Dryer wasn't working. - You can buy dishwasher tabs and laundry soap from front desk or bring your own. - Bring a converter if you are using North American chargers as these are different (2 prong circle) Very close proximity to Kokos/Zanzibar beaches (5 min walk). Grocery store is also within walking distance about 10min... it is quite pricey so if you can drive to find a local supermarket it might be cheaper. Renting a car to see the island is a must. We rented from Ruseler (right beside the supermarket). Nice service.

Good family friendly hotel

Location - was pretty good, there is a restaurant inside the resort and a few restaurants and bar within five minutes walk. Supermarket 10 minute walk. Beach few minutes Walk. hiking Trail just behind the resort. The villa - we booked had two rooms each with its own bathroom which was very convenient. Small kitchen with sufficient utensil for cooking. small living area and a resting balcony to chill. Hotels swimming pool - There were a 1 meter deep swimming pool, a 1.5 meter deep swimming pool and a kiddy pool. You can arrange to book cars directly at reception. There is No Room service. overall good hotel considering price, location, amenities, we would come here again. Small thing - would be good if they provided coffee and tea.( only 4 coffee capsules were provided although we stayed for 8 nights, when asked at reception they said we would have to buy, which wasn’t expensive but would be nice touch to have as complimentary like other hotels)
