"Great resort"

"We were given a room that was full of mildew. When we turned on AC to help it too smelled of mold. When I spoke to manager she said previous person did not complain, which just tells me they have poor quality control. (And that she was dismissing my concern). My son started coughing due to conditions and we talked to front desk about checking out early. Turns out when we first arrived I signed a form allowing no early check outs. Just make sure you look at room before you sign their paperwork. After we complained they moved us to a room more in keeping with how the rooms were advertised. So I think we were given a room that had not been renovated yet. In short, I agree with some of the other reviews, motel quality and staff not very friendly. Also if healthy food important to you- be aware they have margarine not butter, not the freshest ingredients. I thought given price, I was paying for better quality that just wasn’t there. For additional context- the sheets were thin, had stains, and back porch had sewer smell. "

"We loved staying at Chachagua and would highly recommend it to anyone considering. The property is sprawling, with so much available onsite to enjoy. We took advantage of the coffee and chocolate tour, the cooking class, and the night tour on property. All were excellent. Additionally, Chachagua’s location is perfect for seeing Costa Rican wildlife. In less than 48 hours, we saw nearly everything we had only hoped we would see. The staff are friendly, the onsite guides are amazingly knowledgeable, and the quality of the hot springs are really nice. We also booked tours through the hotel that were in La Fortuna, ~30 minute drive. Those were also well coordinated and well communicated. We can’t say enough good things about our stay! "

"Great spot, very unique and affordable, especially for large groups!"

"Perfect stay "

"Breakfast was fantastic every morning. Great variety to suit everyone. The entire property was spotless, including the room!! Everything is very well maintained. Majority of staff were incredibly friendly, polite and helpful. Drinks at the bar were lovely and happy hour every evening was a nice surprise, although the menu is much smaller. "

"We loved our stay at these beautiful villas. The location is amazing because the property is in a quiet fruit orchard away from the busy main town. The views out the windows are spectacular in every direction. It is a gated area, so our family of four felt very safe. Inside, the villa was perfectly clean and had everything we needed, including plenty of towels and bathroom supplies. The kitchen was also great, with lots of coffee, salt, sugar, an amazing huge fridge freezer with an icemaker, and lots of tools for cooking. The air conditioning worked very well, keeping us cool and comfortable. We especially enjoyed having our own private pool right in front of the villa. Our host was wonderful and always replied very quickly with clear messages. We had a very relaxing stay and highly recommend this property to others."

"The first thing to note is the drive up to the hotel—it’s very bumpy and uneven. If you’re driving, it’s best to take it slow, and ideally use a rental car you don’t mind putting through rough terrain. During our stay, we ran into a few issues with the staff, mainly around excursions being booked incorrectly and some basic questions not being answered clearly. While this was a bit frustrating, the stay itself was still pleasant overall. Food at the hotel felt somewhat overpriced for what you get. I’d recommend eating at nearby sodas instead, where the food is generally better and more reasonably priced. Overall, the hotel was solid for the price. The main downside was the service, which could benefit from being more professional and organized. With improvements in that area, the experience would be much better."
