Amazing location, feel like you are staying within the rainforest, plenty of birds and animals can be seen on site! Tours are great, including the complimentary one. Staff very friendly. Cafe, yoga, hot springs all fantastic.
Room was a little damp due to high humidity and also a bit dark so didn't spend much time in there.

Beautiful, small boutique, hotel, and wonderful property next to a river. We hike the river and soaked in the Hot Springs. The food also was excellent here. Very pleasant surprise to eat Fabulous meals, and snacks at their hot Springs bar.
Everything was great.

Sin agua caliente.

1) Las aguas termales (maravillosas e incluidas en el precio)
2) El personal
3) La ubicación (una finca fantástica en mitad del bosque nuboso u alejada doce km del ruido de La fortuna)
4) La posibilidad muy cierta de ver animales (vimos un perezoso a tres metros de nuestra habitación)
5) El restaurante: la cocina es exquisita, y el servicio (sobre todo, Dani), inmejorable
6) Los paseos diurnos y nocturnos
Que cobraran por adelantado la totalidad del precio de la habitación (dos noches) con cinco meses de antelación.

All promises were lies. And they promised me a refund for half a night stay: I am still waiting for that.
No functioning hot springs (as promised in their name). No functioning pool (it was being maintained for my entire stay). Loud escalation disrupting the river. Shallack on the floors of the room that sticks to your socks.

Cet hôtel est exceptionnel!!! Niché dans la nature, accueillis comme des princes par un personnel hautement qualifié, c’était vraiment très agréable.
Pouvoir observer les oiseaux, paresseux, toucans…dans le parc de l’hôtel, les hots springs et les toboggans, tout était au top! Le service est excellent, souriant et efficace, nous avons tout simplement adoré notre séjour

Uns hat alles sehr gut gefallen, das Hotel und der Bungalow, das Essen war sehr gut und die Mitarbeiter waren ebenfalls freundlich und immer gut gelaunt, speziell Rudy bei der Morpho Lodge. Der umliegende Regenwald mit Flora und Fauna ist überwältigend und wir haben es sehr genossen. Unbedingt sollte man einen Night Walk mit Hector machen. Er wusste sehr viel über Tiere und Natur zu erzählen und hatte uns viele kleine Frösche und auch eine Schlange gezeigt. Der Aufenthalt war unvergesslich
Nichts...

De locatie was top en de hot springs waren fantastisch. De hut was schoon. Goede quesedillas voor de lunch.
Chagrijnig personeel en de hut was verouderd en muf. Het restaurant mist sfeer en het ontbijt was niet genoeg voor een volwassen man. De wandelroute was slecht onderhouden.

Prachtige locatie in het regenwoud. Heel vriendelijk personeel. Mooie trails op het terrein.
Kamers mogen wat sfeervoller, ietwat gedateerd en basic. Maar drie ligbedden bij het zwembad dat er verwaarloosd uitzag. Ontbijtkaart mag wat uitgebreider en gevarieerder. Muziek in het restaurant ging al heel vroeg aan en onze bungalow lag daar vlakbij.

Tuin en omgeving zijn prachtig, zo ruim en afwisselend dat zelfs tours op eigen grond konden worden gehouden. Faciliteiten geweldig en voor personeel was niets te veel. De kamers waren weliswaar ruim maar vonden we vrij donker. Meest geweldige was kijken naar kolibri’s vanuit je bed.

Das Hotel verfügt über einen schönen Park und die Anlage mit den warmen quellen ist sehr schön. Guter Standort für Ausflüge in die Region des Arenal Vulkanes.
Das Zimmer war relativ dunkel da die Beleuchtung nicht gut positioniert ist.

Idyllic, secluded, relaxing and simply beautiful
A lot of reviews focus on food costs which I thought were actually reasonable but the cost of the hotels transport services were ridiculous high (as were the trips) and left you feeling a bit like the hotel was on the make. But the staff were great - especially Lorenzo who was so good with my son who has LD

The site is stunning.
Not that it’s a bad thing. But, it’s far from the action of La Fortuna.

Hot springs are beautiful. Entire place is in the middle of a forest, lot of animals and birds around you. The guide, Neni/Nani, did a great job for the coffee tour. Team from hotel reception had a nice attitude.
The only place we hated was the restuarant, because of people. Rude employees at the restaurant reception, even the waiters did not enjoy to work there, they dont love customers in general.

I loved the grounds. They were incredibly beautiful. The staff was so nice and so helpful with the rest of our trip.

Excellent service. Beautiful warm springs with adjacent bar and landscaping. Beautiful, huge bathroom. Good restaurant. Lovely rural setting. Hiking on property.
A couple of minor things would make this place even better. The rooms are dark, even with all the lights on. There are no hooks anywhere for things like towels and robes.

The grounds of the property where beautiful, lush gardens and rainforest all around . The hot springs where cute but they were warm not hot, and there was a nice pool and River you can swim in . We loved our plunge pool in our first room and private hot tub on the deck in the second room. We first stayed in the two bedroom villa and then moved to the master bungalow. We loved all views of the rainforest we saw and all the pretty birds . We were very disappointed that we did not get to see an toucans of sloths on the property .
The staff was nice , Hector and Jasmine and Alex ( I think his name was ) where very helpful. Sharon the housekeeper decorated our room beautifully with flower petals for our anniversary. The rainforest views were magical.
We chose this hotel because we wanted a really high end luxurious yet tropical secluded rainforest experience. We got that but only partially because both rooms constantly had bugs in them . Now I know that in the rainforest bugs are to be expected, but at any given time we had 10-20 small insects in the room, flies , spiders , little black bugs , beetles , and some ungodly beedy eyed creature , there was also a giant winged black bug in the indoor shower that I don’t even know what it was . I’m terrified of bugs , so it really ruined some of the experience for me .
I just figured that at luxury resort they exterminate/spray around or in the rooms so that bugs don’t get into the room.
I couldn’t even step out of the room at night without Getting accosted by bugs . I was stung over 3 times by different insects. This is something to take under consideration when choosing this hotel , prepare to have to deal with a lot of insects .
The staff at the property where very nice and friendly, but felt very tip hungry . Everyone was kind , but Hector and Jazmin where the two that went out the way to try and help us . Everyone else was just very much “ doing the job “ kind of attitude, very nice but nothing extraordinary. We stayed later at The Royal Corin Hotel and the staff made us feel like kings and queens , very high end service . Service at Chachagua was nice but did not match Royal Corin.
There were lots of little issues that we had during our stay at Chachagua, no screens on windows or doors to keep out bugs , no garbage can in room only in bathroom, no table of chairs in room, private pool got dirty from beetles had to wait an hour and half to use it . Had to wait 2 hours for hot tub in second room to be installed by maintenance. Twice the toilet got clogged and we waited over 40 mins for maintenance to come . The room started to smell and we couldn’t even open a subdue because there was no screens and so many bugs .

We LOVED staying here. It was super secluded. The staff made us feel super special with a private tour of the property and free welcome drinks. The room itself was very luxurious including a nice balcony with hammock to relax in. Overall had a great experience here!

The garden was a piece of paradise and we were able to spot many birds. Both the thermal and the standard swimming pool were very nice. Our kids had a lot of fun jumping in the river with a toboggan. The room was nice and clean.
Breakfast was very good but in small quantities.

The property is well maintained and there are plenty of things to do. The room was clean and comfortable. very friendly staff. It was super cool to be able to swim in the river and relax in the hot spring pool right after.

The people! This is owned locally and the staff is local. I think they said the staff and facilities team are there to support 26 guest rooms. It’s remote, unique and amazingly relaxing. The internet enables some work. Tour of the property was wonderfully informative. Pool and springs were set up well and the food selection was diverse and well done for such a small audience. We would come back.
it’s remote, it’s a jungle making it a little rustic at times. We had a car so it was easy to get to activities although just relaxing on site is great.
