Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hot Springs

Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent
"This resort was incredible- Location was secluded and away from the main parts of town and was truly a diamond in the jungle. Spent 3 nights with family and had replanted tours with other good operators and later found out Chachagua also offered these services too. The property was well manicured, the hot springs were awesome in the rain, as well as some of the nature walks/night walk. The food on property was great and staff was super accommodating and strived for perfection. Would definitely stay again!"
