"If you were only staying for one or two nights in Chachagua, then this motel might suit you fine, please be highly aware of their nonrefundable policy. I made the mistake of booking this hotel for two weeks so that I had a homebase for my entire stay in Costa Rica. When I realize that I was not very happy staying there, I was unable to cancel or get refunded for my unused nights."

"Fabulous experience. if you want the wild/lodge experience but still a staffed hotel with a bunch of services then this is for you! We were in the middle of the wilderness, with birds and sloths on site, but still had room service/clean up and buffet style breakfast and a pool! Absolutely recommend. good distance to all the sites/activity but far enough from the tourist trap that is la fortuna!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Chachagua?
The best area to stay in Chachagua is around the La Fortuna Waterfall and the Arenal Volcano National Park entrance, as this puts you at the heart of the region's main attractions.

This area is characterised by lush rainforests and the prominent, conical shape of Arenal Volcano dominating the skyline. Most accommodations here are located into the natural landscape, offering stunning views and a sense of being truly surrounded by nature. You'll find a range of lodges and boutique hotels, many with their own hiking trails or access to natural hot springs.

Couples looking for a romantic and adventurous getaway will find this area perfect. Many hotels cater to a relaxing experience with private balconies overlooking the rainforest, spa treatments, and exquisite dining options. The proximity to the La Fortuna Waterfall means you can enjoy an early morning dip before the crowds arrive, and the various hot springs provide a wonderful way to unwind together after a day of exploring.

Families will also appreciate the convenience and activities available here. There are numerous family-friendly adventures such as canopy tours, hanging bridges, and wildlife spotting excursions.
When is the best time to go to Chachagua?
The best time to go to Chachagua is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.

This period offers consistent sunshine and lower humidity, making it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the Arenal Volcano National Park and visiting La Fortuna Waterfall. You'll find the trails are less muddy and the weather more predictable for adventures such as zip-lining or white-water rafting on the nearby rivers.

Couples often find this time particularly enjoyable for a romantic getaway, as the clear skies provide excellent views of the volcano and the pleasant weather is great for relaxing by the pool or enjoying dinner outdoors. The dry season also means less chance of rain interrupting planned excursions.

Families travelling with children will appreciate the ease of planning activities without the worry of sudden downpours. The drier conditions make wildlife spotting more comfortable, as animals are often more active and visible.
