The staff were very friendly and helpful. The area is safe and better than I had expected. I had an amazing time here. Iād recommend making reservations for the restaurants somewhat early if youād like a good spot to eat. Note that the complementary shuttle bus time is off as they did arrive 45 mins later than expected but that has nothing to do with the resort. Nice amount of shops around the resort. Would stay again!
The property was fantastic! The grounds very immaculate. Our room was kept spotless. Centrally located to Jan Thiel beach, all the restaurants and nightlife. There is a great hike available that will take you to gorgeous views of the cliffs and rock formations overlooking the ocean. Salu the restaurant/bar had the best food and drinks on the island. Lance the bartender was great!
Great resort with cute and comfortable bungalows. The property is beautifully landscaped, has a nice restaurant, pools and walking distance to the beach. And the staff working there is super friendly and helpful.
Sometimes things go wrong, that can't be avoided... but it's how a place responds that sets it apart. Our fridge died and all our food went bad, plus we had hot water issues. The staff and management went above and beyond to make it right. Thank you!
The restaurant and pool are amazing. We loved having a deck and a place to cook meals.
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.

Ac was good! But only in the room, which is ok for me. The ocean view was nice view with 2 confortable chairs and hamac for the late drinks and morning coffee! But the ocean is no close enough to listen to the waves.
Bed mattress are bad, way too soft, you will sink in. Also 220V electricity Europe style 2, but the reception has adapter (no converters to 110V
We had a lovely time at CHOGOGO, but for a resort, some things were lacking, such as someone greeting upon arrival, bringing our bags up the stairs to our room, the lack of cleaning by housecleaning, and a few more. It was more a Airbnb vibe than a resort. But for the most part, it did not hinder the amazing time that we had. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad.
PROS
* Fast check-In
* Attentiveness and communication of staff when issues arise
* Small plunge pool and hot tubs across from the sea view apartment.
* The Sea view
* Fantastic breeze on patio
* Streaming Apps: Netflix & YouTube
* Kitchen utensils, etc
* AC in the bedroom
* Supermarket steps away
* The Restaurant on grounds- very good
CONS
* Improper seating in the living room. The chairs are totally uncomfortable to sit with your spouse and watch TV.
* Uncomfortable beds
* No lighting for entry at night into the room
* Improper lighting in the bedroom.
* Housecleaning: Biggest Issue. They clean every 3 days which is great! But they just threw the towels on top of the towel rack, donāt clean anywhere. Everything was just as it was left. They only things they did were, change the towels in the bathroom and the kitchen, take out the garbage, and make up the bed. Dirty patio with bird poop.
The fact that reviews complained about some of these issues and they were not addressed cause a lack of repeat customers, not good!
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 wasnāt expensive but would be nice touch to have as complimentary like other hotels)
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.
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.
If I could give this place half a star, I would. Thereās nothing āresortā about itāit barely qualifies as a hotel. Youāre 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 thereās no convenience store on-site. For essentials like water or toiletries, youāll need to trek 15 minutes to a supermarket. The resort is extremely hilly, with steep climbs back to your roomāespecially exhausting after a day at the beach.
Rooms lack basic amenities like shampoo and conditioner, offering only a generic āhair and body wash.ā They also provide no washcloths or hand towelsājust 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 arenāt regularly cleanedājust refilled nightly.
Thereās no room service, and food from the restaurant has to be picked up and carried back up the hill. Breakfast options are basic unless youāre 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 didnāt respond to requests.
The only positive? The staff are pleasant.
