Outstanding experience. We arrived in San Jose and wanted to catch our breath before our 3 hour drive the next day. Chayote Lodge was exceptional. Great view, very nice restaurant on property, comfortable beds and great sheets. Chayote, the canine greeter, is delightful. Lovely!

The stay was good. Walking the property, I really wanted to give a few ideas for improvement. The yoga area was pretty but needed a good re-fresh. There's no way anyone would want to do yoga there, in the condition that it was in. Needs a good power washing and re-staining of the deck, and the pond was full of leaves - could use a good cleaning and maybe some koi. The view from the room was incredible. The dog on the property was friendly and fun, but did bark at night. The owner was onsite and having a very lively conversation with a woman (we think about marketing). Maybe they were trying to figure out ways to get more clients? Whatever they were discussing should've been done in private, not in the restaurant in front of customers. Was a little uncomfortable.

Perched on a mountain overlooking the emeral green landscape of the property and San Jose, Chayote Lodge is a gift from the gods. Beginning with the friendly greeting by Roberto upon arrival to the breathtaking view from our suite and then to the gastronomic delights in the dining room, this boutique with individual suites is paradise. Where else can you be lulled to sleep and awaken to the sound of birds and flutter of butterflys all around you. We can't wait to return.

Pequeño hotel en la cima de una loma con todas las habitaciones con vista a los volcanes, la mejor opción para pasar unos dias gozando de Costa Rica suficientemente alejado de la ciudad pero cerca del aeropuerto. Su personal muy amigable y orgullosos de su hotel, muy respetuoso con el medio ambiente rodeado de cafetales. Arquitectura muy interestante recordando a los \"recibidores\" de café. Jardines muy bonitos y el restaurante integrado al espacio con una carta muy amplia.

Staying at the Chayote Lodge is all about the views. Each coffee inspired cabin has 100 mile views across the valley all the way to San Jose. You're well off the road so you may see a random car, traffic noise isn't a part of the experience. The staff was typical Costa Rica friendly and the food in the restaurant was wonderful. Our only suggestion, is if you offer a sunrise birder's tour, someone should be there or let you know it's not happening.

Ok for one night.

Comfortable beds ok rooms. fantastic views
great dinner.
Ok for a pre flight stay. Just thought as every other hotel we stayed at it would have been nice to have coffee in the room as in every hotel we had stayed in Costa Rica.
I Was told I could get from restaurant which I walked to and then took back to room and then walk back to return cups. On checking out I was given a bill for these 2 coffee not a massive deal but thought it was really petty bearing in mind it was not the cheapest of options and we were in the middle off the coffee plantations

The property is super nice, but it needs to be taken care of. The hot water didn't work well, so we couldn't use the hot tub the fireplace is decorative and it should work since the room doesn't have heat, and it's kind of cold at night. When we arrived the staff never explained anything about the property of the room so we had to constantly keep asking things. The telephone also didnt work. For the price I payed I expected more.

Totally recommended!!! Relaxation warranted!!!

This place is awesome! The best view you can find, from the hotel you can overlook 4 volcanos, different major cities and even the Golfo de Nicoya. Every detail of their coffee related layout and decoration is extraordinary. Location is perfect, less than an hour from San Jose, really easy to get there. Service is personaliced and you even get to talk to the owner. A great place for relaxation and bird watching. I recommend you book their Donna Gladys suit type room.

Breathtaking view! Serene and relaxing stay!

I stumbled upon Chayote Lodge during my search of hotels in Costa Rica. I was looking for a place to stay that was unique and memorable as well as in a beautiful setting away from the tourist craziness and congestion. I am so happy I booked Chayote Lodge!! From initially booking my hotel the email communication was prompt and friendly. I arranged transportation through Chayote Lodge to meet me once I arrived at the SJO airport to take me to Chayote and the driver was waiting for me, he was so very friendly and the ride was comfortable! Once I arrived to Chayote Lodge via a scenic ride up the paved mountain roads I was greeted with fresh hot Costa Rican coffee, warm smiles and wonderful hospitality!

I am sharing my experience but I feel I am still not doing this place the justice it deserves. The views of the rolling pastures, valleys and volcanoes in the distance are amazing! Hummingbirds and butterflies share the space with you if you choose to eat on the terrace of their nice restaurant serving typical Tico dishes. There is a little nature trail on the property and if you're lucky you might see howler monkeys and toucans. The property's resident dog, aptly named Chayote, happily accompanied me on my nature walk. I adored my very clean and private recibidor cabin with rustic yet updated decor keeping with the coffee theme. There is no a/c but it is not needed (and I am from Miami where I love a/c) because at the elevation it is breezy and comfortable.

Cabin with a dramatic view

Enjoyed the view from the unique cabins based on the coffee receiving houses.
Would have liked coffee making facilities in the cabin.
Downside was being woken up at 4.00am to barking dogs in the neighbourhood which went on for 40 minutes.
Thoroughly enjoyed the day tour with Jose.

Beautiful views!

We had the lodge to ourselves. We enjoyed the views, sitting on our balcony and reading and relaxing. We stayed 2 nights, which I recommend. Food was good. I recommend eating dinner there, the road to the lodge is very narrow, gravel and I would not like to be driving on it at night. Full menu , full bar at dinner, not included in price, breakfast is included. Pretty flowers, interesting landscaping , great sunrises and sunsets!

Una noche normal...

Basado en mi experiencia en otros hoteles de similar categoría y precio puedo decir que el Chayote Lodge tiene posibilidades de ser aún mejor de lo que es.

El Check-In no fue para nada especial y en general el servicio del hotel puede mejorar.

Las instalaciones del hotel son bonitas mas sin embargo no hay nada que hacer en el hotel, el deck de yoga se ve sucio y el sendero por el que fui a caminar se nota que no es un sendero como tal. Las habitaciones en un hotel que no tiene ninguna actividad deberían de contar con television por lo menos.

El trato fue respetuoso y repito, creo que pueden hacer más para que el personal del hotel se vea más profesional y sentir que lo que costo la noche lo valio.

La comida del restaurante estuvo bastante bien, la relación precio - calidad es bastante buena.

El Mejor Lodge En Costa Rica

El lugar es increiblemente bonito, acogedor y sumamente comodo. Tiene una de las mejores vistas que hemos conocido y realmente vale la pena ir; inclusive si es solo al restaurante Quelites que queda en la pura cima del lodge. El personal del hotel es el mejor que hemos tenido hasta el momento: atento, informado, con ganas de conversar y siempre con una sonrisa. El restaurante es sumamente bonito, limpio y con comida deliciosa! Fue uno de los mejores fin de semanas que he tenido recientemente con mi novia y todo fue gracias a ese servicio impecable! 100% recomendado y definitivamente un orgullo nacional!
