Chayote Lodge

The view, the garden. Quiet place for a family get together.

The food was good but it could improve.

Very beautiful surroundings and breathtaking view, birds everywhere, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Close enough to beautiful day trips.

The breakfast could be better. For instance they had no honey with pancakes. Especially if you are in a high end lodge.

The view only in the morning

Lots of bugs, uncleanliness, lied online about booking availability, no breakfast buffet includes only pieces of fruit, abandoned area

We had a lovely 2 night stay at Chayote Lodge and it was the perfect place to relax after a long flight. The views from the room were amazing both during the day and night with all the lights of San Jose. The area is so peaceful and we really enjoyed a tour of a local coffee farm and an early morning bird tour, where the guide was so enthusiastic and we saw so many birds including toucans.

Nothing

the uniqueness (coffee plantation), the cabin designs and on-site restaurant. all the staff were beyond helpful and super nice

GREED! Money cant buy life. we booked and paid 4 nights for $1080 US in advance at Chayote Lodge but we barely could stay for 2 nights. Not more. IT was unbearable. Chayote Lodge rates are in no relation to their offer ( the pics in their side are fakes): dirty rooms, no Yoga, high altitude, a lonesome place, no store, nothing nearby, hardly guests, no service, at night not one person in sight at a deserted place/area, icy cold at night The owners son, Roberto said at our 1st day that we can cancel 2 of 4 nights, just staying and paying two. that would have been fair. Roberto we didnt see again. The day we left, we were allowed to leave, we were told that we wont be forced to stay but that we will not get no money back for the 2 nights overpaid. For the coming 2 nights we had booked already another hotel. No driver awaited us like promised to drive us. The owner talked only over the telephone to US, unfriendly. Chayote Lodge is not only overrated, the service advertised &promised cant be found, was not presented, besides the host & staff has an arrogant attitude, unfriendly, rude, greedy. We cant recommend this hotel. Our 5th visit at Costa Rica but 1st negativ experience. Costa Rica has so many really luxury hotels for half the price where they treat you fair and with respect and courtesy, offering beautiful landscape, food, friendly staff and service. No need to get treated the way the people at Chayote Lodge treat their guests. Rather let the owner have the money, even he didnt earn or deserve it but going to an enjoyable hotel, laughing about greedy people like the owner of Chayote Lodge, Pura Vida

After a long day of flight connections from the USA to Costa Rica, we wanted to book a spot that wasn't much more than an hour from the airport, as we knew we would be tired and ready to relax before heading to the busy Furtuna area the next day. This facility was great. Can't say enough good things about the view from our cabin... forest and foliage during the day, and the distant lights of San Jose at night. The grounds are beautifully maintained with lots of flowers, etc. The restaurant/bar is very attractive and the food is good. The property is somewhat remote from other towns, homes, etc and is very pleasant and quiet.

As I recall, the bed was rather stiff.

Best view. Nice attention. Nice room.

They started to clean the restaurant windows during the breakfast which was loud and disturbing the peace of the place. Worst timing to clean windows. The rooms lack privacy with the small windows on the top of the front side where everyone can look inside, even to the bathroom.

This place is exceptional! :)
