Our family of four, including two teenage boys, loved our stay at Chachagua. We enjoyed seeing different wildlife every time we stepped outside our rooms. The hot springs were amazing after a day of adventuring. The breakfast was amazing and the staff were kind and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic time at Chachagua Rainforest Hotel. The resort is located in beautiful surroundings and we found the staff very helpful and friendly. While the resort felt nestled in remote surroundings, we had easy access to trips and adventures within 30-60 minute drives.

Can’t say enough about the staff at Chachagua Rainforest Hotel! They went above and beyond in every situation to make our stay enjoyable! From decorating our room to help us celebrate our honeymoon, to helping us book and adjusting our tours when needed, we couldn’t have asked for more. The resort, rooms, and amenities were all wonderful! We look forward to the opportunity to return one day.

Fantastic property and in a beautiful location in the middle of the rainforest. Lots of activity to do in and around the property in the middle of the rainforest - wildlife watching, ziplining, horseback riding, hiking and much more to do. The rooms are also so set in beautiful surroundings right in the middle of nature. Worth the extra expense and highly recommend for couples and families with kids !

This property is amazing!!!!!!! From the time we arrived to the time we left, we had a great time!!! They were very accommodating for us - let us check in early, let us join a last minute tour, and made our anniversary very special. We enjoyed the night hike, day hike, and coffee/chocolate tour. The hot springs were amazing and an added bonus with 2 slides!!!

Property and staff were absolutely amazing during our entire 5 day stay! The resort blends perfectly with the natural environment and the hot springs heal the body and soul. We felt instantly relaxed the moment we arrived. The food is exceptional and the staff made us feel like royalty. The place radiates positivity and peacefulness. We were sad to go and would gladly return for an extended period of time. Recommend this resort 100%
