Incredible resort. Would rush back in a heartbeat. We had the cheapest rainforest bungalow and it felt like a suit. Gorgeous bathroom, animals surrounding you, hammock outside was lovely. The breakfast was incredible, the food in the hot springs was excellent and the staff were amazing. Particularly the guides who went out of their way to help you and spot animals and birds for you. The night hike and the free day hike I would absolutely recommend without hesitation. We would not have spotted half the things we saw without the guides. I had my own yoga session with an incredible instructor as even though it was sold out when we were there in December, no one seemed to do many resort activities! The hot springs were great. We used them at various times of the day and had our own one every time. The slides into the river and into the cold pool were fun.
There was construction but this really did not matter and made zero difference to our stay. Wish I was still there!

I would definitely stay here again. The customer service was excellent and very accommodating. My only minor complaint was that the food provided by the hotel didn't serve local dishes, the menus definitely catered to foreigners. I would have preferred to eat their local cuisine.

The treehouse rooms were incredible, with newer furnishings and the amazing walk out to the hot tub in the elevated tree trunk (room 403). Staff were excellent as well and always available to ahuttle you around the property in a cart. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, though it was quite pricey as was the onsite food; even more than would be expected from a local resort. But definately a special property if you want to get away from.it all deep in the jungle, yet still only 25 mins to La Fortuna.

Staff were courteous, room was nice with A/C (but no fan in the bathroom), nature trails on property were a bonus, extra activities like the night walk and morning yoga were cool. Tons of exotic animals to see on the property. The one negative thing was that they were doing major construction near the two restaurants which was not expected and super loud from 9am- past sun down. They had the water shut off to the 2 water slides on the last day too due to the construction. It's also a far drive to excursions in La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano.

The room was ok, very clean. There was a methane smell several times, however the staff was quick to respond. The staff and the grounds were excellent! Hot springs were very nice, as was the included breakfast. The rooms are separate cottages set back in the jungle, which was very cool. There is a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the cottages. Was fine for us, but probably not handicapped friendly

This place was the highlight of our trip in Costa Rica. Usually a hotel is a hotel but these guys are on to something with this place. The property is immaculate and something out of a fairy tale. They offer lots of tours on site if you don’t want to traipse around too far and have more of a relaxed stay. Otherwise it’s not hard to get out to all the places la fortuna has to offer.

If you’re not into driving and don’t want to go into town for dinner, it might be tricky for a longer stay as I imagine you’d get a bit bored of the menus but there’s enough variety between the two that you would be fine. My only annoyance was the speaker phone by the main pool- walkie talkies might make more sense for the staff instead of hearing the loud phone ring over the intercom.

We got lost doing the nature hike on property. More signage for the hike and on the property in general would be helpful. also, more lighting. It is pitch dark at night. It was difficult to find our way to and from restaurant at night, which was also dangerous, given not all paths are paved.

Husband and I had a pleasant stay at chachagua. We arrived late at night and was greeted at the front desk with hand towels and fruit juice. Checking in was smooth and we were escorted to our bungalow (make sure to have a high car as you will drive through a low river).

Bungalow was private and very clean. The room was cleaned daily and there was eco friendly hair products and toiletries. Room has a mini fridge, coffee maker and fresh water daily.

Continental breakfast was amazing - at a restaurant on premises. Great selection!

The springs were great- wasn’t a lot of people and we were able to enjoy it solo.

The resort was beautiful and tranquil. You can hear the animals throughout the day esp the monkeys in the morning. We didnt get to see the monkey but we did see a sloth up in the tree- thanks to Ruben (who btw gave a great coffee/ chocolate tour).

Big thank you to all the staff members- from the gentleman who greets you when entering, front desk staff, house keeping, and restaurant waiters/waitresses. All very pleasant and super helpful when we had any questions or concerns.

Pura Vida. :)

The hot tub in our room was fantastic! The privacy for the rooms with hot tubs really needs to be improved. The outdoor shower is cool, but not when people can see you from both sides! Same for the hot tub. It also would have been a lot nicer if you could drive yourself to and from your room versus waiting for someone else to get you, especially since sometimes the wait time was lengthy. The hot springs would be more enjoyable if they weren’t right beside the restaurant due to noise and people just sitting there watching you. The water temperature was very relaxing and the water slide into the pool was awesome! Overall the hotel was nice, I just wish privacy would have been considered more in the treehouse room design.

The town of chachaugua is only a short distance away and had a fantastic little soda with pizza and empanadas, and a ice cream shop that had $1 ice cream… I cannot say enough about how special this hotel and staff is.

The highlight of this hotel is definitely the hot springs and water slides—they’re well-maintained and fun for both kids and adults. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, and we appreciated the good service throughout the property.

Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. Our room was extremely outdated, dark, and uninviting. The beds were uncomfortable, the plumbing was old and leaky, and overall, the accommodations felt neglected. It did not match the expectations set by the hotel’s reputation.

We also found the food to be mediocre at best, which led us to drive 30 minutes into town just to get a decent meal—not ideal when you’re hoping for a relaxing stay.

Perhaps we were just unlucky and were given one of the oldest bungalows, but our experience was disappointing enough that we would not recommend this hotel to friends or family. Honestly, we couldn’t wait to check out. I’m surprised by the glowing reviews calling this the best hotel of their Costa Rican trip—it certainly wasn’t for us.

This was my wife and I second trip to the La Fortuna area. Chachagua is a quaint town a little south and the resort was way off the beaten path in the middle of the rainforest. This was the first time for my mom and her best friend. Just off foot surgery and still a little sore/ swollen. The resort staff went overboard to accommodate her with a shower seat. Use of their wheelchair so she could get around when tired and just amazing every day. The food was top notch, free breakfast was awesome. My family would highly recommended a visit. If you have a chance to visit say hi to Anthony, Patricia, Gettchen with two t’s, Sofia, Lorenzo, Kevin, Pamela, Karen, Jonathan, Kristal, Maicol ( hope you catch some big fish) and Dennis.

Amazing surroundings, excellent dining, perfect on-site hot springs to enjoy on demand. In addition to this, we were supported by the hotel team to help us with some rental car trouble while we were there. They went out of their way to assist us, implement a quick repair and got us on our way! Without this dedication to their guests our whole vacation could have been ruined.

I’ve stayed in many hotels as a frequent traveler, but Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hot Springs is, without question, the best I’ve ever experienced. From the moment I arrived, I was completely enchanted by the lush rainforest surroundings. The sounds of nature, the vibrant greenery, and the abundance of incredible wildlife made it feel like stepping into a dream. I was lucky enough to see so many animals up close—truly unforgettable!

The staff at this hotel are absolutely phenomenal. They were kind, patient, and went above and beyond to make my stay perfect. A special shoutout to Lorenzo, who was truly the best of the best! His warmth, knowledge, and attention to detail made my experience even more remarkable. Lorenzo and the rest of the staff were gems and deserve all the praise in the world!

The hot springs and the serene atmosphere provided the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Every moment here felt magical, and I know I’ll cherish the memories I made for the rest of my life. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of the rainforest, look no further.

Thank you, Chachagua Rainforest Hotel, for such an incredible stay! I can’t wait to return someday.

This place was just wonderful. The hot springs are beautiful, the rooms lovely and so clean, the staff was friendly, the restaurant was delicious, and the tour guide, Neny, was just wonderful. She was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all the animals we saw. She really enhanced our visit. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this place to anyone. It is a paradise!!

This hotel was an amazing experience for our honeymoon and first time in Costa Rica! Staff is very nice and always available to assist. The grounds are well kept and gorgeous. The pools were fun to play in, or soak at the end a long day of adventures. The slides were a nice touch. We'd love to return.

Incredible stay

Superb spot nested in the jungle in Chachagua village. Great food. The hotspring pools and slides were the big attraction.

Property was away from city center so you really feel like you're staying in the rainsforest which is unique. Staff was friendly and helpful in resolving an issue that Expedia could not.

The overall experience was average. The staff is helpful and welcoming. The room was clean and had everything we needed. However, the facilities are showing signs of wear and tear and the seats outside have moist smell due to high humidity.

Truly a unique experience. The hot springs were a great way to relax after a busy day hiking/adventuring. The staff was overall very good. I can only imagine, it's hard to keep up with this place due to it's location and the ever changing weather in CR. A couple things I noticed. The pool was in disrepair. They seem a little short staffed during breakfast. Overall, though, I highly recommend it. It's a memorable hotel/experience.
