First off let me say if you’ve never been to Costa Rica before, do your homework, and don’t believe anything a resort tells you. No place is easy to get to, and Chachagua is the worst. I’d only stay here 2 nights tops, and better plan on not going anywhere unless the resort staff approve. There’s some kind of major racket going on between them and transportation companies, tour companies. I can’t speak for all of Costa Rica, but these folks were judgy-gossips. My bff and never get wasted, but during our 1trip together a year, we like to let loose a bit, this place act like nuns at my all girls high school. They have 1 pool if you want to call it that. It’s more like a 2ft kiddie pool with only 2, yes I said 2 lounging chaises. The bungalows were ok, but the beds are like rocks. If you forget to tip your housekeeper for 1 day, be prepared to not have toilet paper or towels. Also the on-resort activities are not great. The way they treat their horses is sad. They advertise that it’s an easy commute to La Fortuna or Arenal, but it will cost you $100 USD to get there one way. Stay in the La Fortuna or Arenal for a few days and then move on to one of the coasts

Love the ideas of the bungalows. Breakfast included each morning is fabulous. Enjoyed on site experiences & guides that provided the experiences. I would have enjoyed more lounge chair options around the pool & hot spring area. We felt like we were in the Garden of Eden…surrounded by beauty! 🌸

Beautiful lodges in the rain forest , beautiful trails 2KM around the property which are nice to explore with a tropical farm at the end. Lodges are nice and clean but a little dark inside. Restaurants are great, drinks are excellent. The grounds need a little tlc ei the pool but the thermal pools were very nice. Nice area to see wildlife, toucans, sloths, agouti etc
