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.

Espectacular !!
Excelente resort para descansar y desconectarte. Todo el predio es hermoso, se pueden recorrer senderos, puentes y estar en sus aguas termales. El único detalle es que estas últimas no están tan calientes, pero esto puede ser una ventaja porque puedes pasar mas tiempo en ellas, sin que sea incómodo, y además, tiene servicio de bebidas !!
