The property is beautiful with nice pool and soaking pools. The air conditioning works very well in the room. (My significant other needs it colder than I like. We were able to get a blanket for me but they are in short supply. I recommend bringing your own if your travel companion likes/needs the room colder than you.) The kitchenette is very nice and comes with everything you need. Housekeeping comes every 3 days which was great. Towels weren't a problem we traded ours in daily when we passed reception. The pillows were old and need replacing. They were flat and hard. The shower is an eco shower and hot water is short lived. The shower soap is a body hair all in one soap. It works good as body wash; I used my own shampoo. The onsite restaurant is amazing. The hotel includes beach access to Jan Thiel Beach this does not include the chairs. The chairs vary from $5 USD plus depending on location and type. Amazing snorkeling right from the beach. The reef is right there and the layout of the bay means it is usually very calm. All the restaurants at Jan Thiel Beach were very good.

Disliked: Amenities
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.

No

If I could give this place half a star, I would. There’s nothing “resort” about it—it barely qualifies as a hotel. You’re essentially doing everything yourself. The resort has one restaurant with a repetitive menu. The food is okay, but portions are small and overpriced. Better options are a 10-minute walk away, but there’s no convenience store on-site. For essentials like water or toiletries, you’ll need to trek 15 minutes to a supermarket. The resort is extremely hilly, with steep climbs back to your room—especially exhausting after a day at the beach. Rooms lack basic amenities like shampoo and conditioner, offering only a generic “hair and body wash.” They also provide no washcloths or hand towels—just two plain towels. Coffee machines come with only two complimentary pods, and extras cost $8 each. The beach is a 10-minute walk, crowded, and restricted to a small section for guests. You also have to pay for beach chairs. The resort has three small pools and hot tubs, but the latter aren’t regularly cleaned—just refilled nightly. There’s no room service, and food from the restaurant has to be picked up and carried back up the hill. Breakfast options are basic unless you’re willing to pay extra for toppings like onions or peppers. Rooms are only cleaned every three days, with sheets left unchanged. Towels were refreshed just once during our stay, and we had to take out our own trash because staff didn’t respond to requests. The only positive? The staff are pleasant.

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.
