차요테 로지(Chayote Lodge)

My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay Chayote Lodge. The property was beautiful — perched on the hillside, with stunning views down into the valley. Each unit was spacious, attractive, and very clean, with a very unique hanging balcony with great views. We enjoyed the opportunity to Birdwatch on the property and we love the location for exploring the region. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and it was great to have the on-site restaurant. Definitely recommend Chayote Lodge!

We stayed at Chayote Lodge on our first and last night of our honeymoon travelling around Costa Rica. This is a great alternative to staying in San Jose before and after flying as it’s 50 minutes away from the airport. Chayote Lodge is a wonderful place to stay. The setting is beautiful, very peaceful with an amazing view. The lodges themselves are big, comfortable, done to a really good standard and so quiet. Food is also excellent. Many locals come for dinner which is always a good sign. We would definitely stay there again.

We only stayed 2 nights at Chayote lodge but it was a pleasant experience. The lodges are designed in a rustic way but are very clean and well equipped (no hairdryer). The bed is especially comfortable. The view over the San Jose valley and the mountains beyond is unsurpassable. There is a good size balcony where you can sit and watch the sunset - no mosquitoes, just the odd sound of monkeys and birds. The restaurant serves fairly basic local food but the portions are good. I would recommend a guided tour to the nearby coffee plantation (half a day). This was really interesting and informative. We didn't have time but other guests there had also visited the botanical gardens which they said was well worth it. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Stunning setting; a comfortable and cosy lodge with great viewing deck, friendly staff and delicious food. A real hideaway from the tourist trail offering hummingbirds, tranquility, homestay, waterfall and other tours. Highly recommend.

Beautiful view from our cabin into the valley below, breezes were heavenly. Only one server at breakfast was below expectations and didn’t exude the warmth/welcoming atmosphere/friendliness and hospitality that the others did. Food was delicious. Temperature of the water in the shower was challenging to regulate. Great accommodations to finish out our 10 day journey through Costa Rica.

What a spot ! Wonderful views and unique cabins which replicate old coffee collection stations. The cabins look plain externally but are immaculately set-out & decorated & comfortable, with the most incredible views back over the central valley. Lovely staff (including the house dog ‘chayote’) and reasonably priced, good quality food/drink. Great base for a 2 night stay in the coffee plantations immediately after your arrival in San Jose.

I had to change my plan. I booked it as they said « full refund ». It’s not the case, they keep 5%. Practice not justified when cancelled 2 months before. They are comfortable with it though. You are informed now. I doubt they treat you better if you are a guest…

Just a brilliant but expensive boutique hotel. Suites are all based on coffee receiving stations and are brilliantly designed. Food pretty good. Views to die for!! Only issue is they need a pool

A beautiful lodge with great views. After a 24 hour trip door to door from the uk we arrived at Chayote Lodge very tired, we didn’t want to stay in San Jose and was recommended Chayote Lodge as its location is stunning but it’s not too far out the city. I was wowed by the lodge, the bed was so comfortable. When we woke the views were great. We sat outside on the deck watching Hummingbirds. Breakfast was delicious and the staff we met were all so friendly. I would definitely recommend.
