Yaba Chigui Lodge

A car is essential for this lodge but due to circumstances outside our control we didn’t have that luxury. However the owners were totally amazing arranging taxis and even taking us to and collecting us from restaurants. (Lodge doesn’t have a restaurant) The rooms were stylish and spotless. Each room was detached and it felt as if you had a little bit of the rainforest to yourself as you sat on the balcony. Nice little swimming pool. The owners were hands on and really wanted all their visitors to have the best experience possible. Loved the outside shower.

Juan and his wife are super friendly hosts. They give you the time of your life. Good advices for the surroundings to visit and certainly the restaurants. The place is in the middle of beautiful nature. All the luxury you need is present. Good swimmingpool

This was an exceptional place to spend a few days. Excellent room, amazing views out of the balcony. We were lucky enough to see monkeys from our room. The owner Juan was so kind and so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Breakfast was a real treat. Freshly made, local produce, Costa Rican specialities. It is off the beaten track- you'll need a 4 wheel drive vehicle!

Everything was exceptional, the rooms are lovely and the balcony is right in the forest. Breakfast was beyond great and the owners were very nice and gave great recommendations for stuff to do in the area. Highly recommended. Juan and Ana are amazing hosts - providing quiet advice about what is worthwhile in the area.

My husband and I were booked at a different place but found out three days before our stay that a 4x4 was required. I quickly looked online and found Yaba Chigui Lodge had one unit left for our dates. I booked it without even reading reviews. Juan and Ana were so welcoming! We were there for three nights and felt like we were family being welcomed into their lovely home!

Amazing place to stay. Outstanding accomodation. Very helpful and friendly owners.

It’s hard to know how to start, it was such a very special experience here. Juan and Ana have created a small but beautiful slice of paradise! Our individual lodge room was the most comfortable place we stayed on our trip, it looked out on the creek, and had a little terrace also overlooking the creek. From there we watched toucans, a slaty-tailed trogon, and a kinkajou as the sun went down. The gardens hosted a sloth and a troupe of howler monkeys swung by one day. There’s a litre pool in the garden that we really enjoyed lolling in at the end of our day’s adventures. Ojochal has a lovely a**osphere and there’s a great deli and several really good restaurants nearby. Juan’s breakfasts were incredible and he’s such a friendly and gracious host. We hope you and Ana enjoyed the English tea bags Juan and the reminder of Norwich! Hope to see you here in the UK 😘

I booked through **********, but the owner refused to pay through **********. So I ended up paying for ********** charge and hotel fees to the hotel owner and didn't get the loyalty rewards. The owner is greedy. :(

Ein liebevoll gepflegtes Kleinod, ideal um sich vom Trubel zurückzuziehen, aber auch toller Standort für vielfältige Ausflüge. Zu erreichen mit 4x4 Wheel Drive. Äußerst freundliches und hilfsbereites Besitzerpaar. Bed&Breakfast mit täglich wechselndem Frühstück, Tolle Restaurants in der Nähe erreichbar.
