We loved staying here. Staff was all super amazing and the grounds were gorgeous. I liked both their casual bar area and nicer restaurant for dinner. It was nice being close enough to go to La fortuna but not in the craziness.

Absolutely adored the property and staff (and food!), however we felt the pictures of the hot springs are misleading. They were somewhat warm to cold, never hot which was what we sought out to find in a place. It would be 10/10 across the board otherwise!

We loved our stay at Chachagua Rainforest Hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our hike to the onsite waterfalls (done twice). We went into the Hot Springs each day! Heavenly! I enjoyed reading my book in the hammock. A beautiful hotel. Thank you.

Absolutely loved my stay at Chachagua. We reserved the family suite with the private patio and pool. I can't even express how amazing it was to stay at this property. Loved all of the staff (especially Hector), beautiful and serene grounds, amazing complimentary yoga sessions, and good food.
