Room was very clean and the front desk staff were all very friendly and helpful. The unit was spacious with a beautiful veranda and a hammock. Resort is very quiet which is nice especially at night (after midnight). However note that a few days a week they have live music and DJs at the beach club until 12am so the noise does travel (not an issue for us but some might find it a bit loud). The room could use a bit more light as it was very dim. Things to note: -They provide Shampoo/Conditioner (bring your own body wash). -They provide hair dryer - You can get free bus tickets from front desk to get the bus into Willemstad. - They have free laundry facilities (3 washers and 1 dryer). I could only get 1 washer working but it did the job. Dryer wasn't working. - You can buy dishwasher tabs and laundry soap from front desk or bring your own. - Bring a converter if you are using North American chargers as these are different (2 prong circle) Very close proximity to Kokos/Zanzibar beaches (5 min walk). Grocery store is also within walking distance about 10min... it is quite pricey so if you can drive to find a local supermarket it might be cheaper. Renting a car to see the island is a must. We rented from Ruseler (right beside the supermarket). Nice service.

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.

Good family friendly hotel

Location - was pretty good, there is a restaurant inside the resort and a few restaurants and bar within five minutes walk. Supermarket 10 minute walk. Beach few minutes Walk. hiking Trail just behind the resort. The villa - we booked had two rooms each with its own bathroom which was very convenient. Small kitchen with sufficient utensil for cooking. small living area and a resting balcony to chill. Hotels swimming pool - There were a 1 meter deep swimming pool, a 1.5 meter deep swimming pool and a kiddy pool. You can arrange to book cars directly at reception. There is No Room service. overall good hotel considering price, location, amenities, we would come here again. Small thing - would be good if they provided coffee and tea.( only 4 coffee capsules were provided although we stayed for 8 nights, when asked at reception they said we would have to buy, which wasn’t expensive but would be nice touch to have as complimentary like other hotels)

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.

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.

They tout being green, but then there are wooden slats, no glass in the bathroom windows and front door allowing in the heat. The air conditioning just didn’t cool the room even when we kept the bathroom door shut. We were given two bath towels and two pool towels. When we requested additional towels for drying our hands, it was as if we were asking a lot. The restaurant and service was good but one afternoon we had to leave because there was such a bad sewer smell. I would not recommend this resort with three tv channels and two Dutch channels for early morning and bedtime viewing.

basic but okay

Chogogo is the oldest resort in Jan Thiel Beach. The 2 bedroom appartments are spacious and clean. The landscaping is beautiful, very lush. You will have a great time in Jan Thiel Beach, with shops, ocean, diving, restaurants all within walking distance. There's a busstop just infront of the resort that will take you into the city. Just don't expect too much comfort staying at Chogogo. Beds are terrible, waterpressure in the shower is minimal, as is the service at the frontdesk.

Accomodatie was iet wat verouderd en niet rechtstreeks aan het strand. Je had wel gratis toegang tot jan thiel maar daar moet je dan weer betalen voor de stoelen. Verde was de kamer basic met oncomfortabele zetels/terasstoelen.
