My wife and loved this property. The views are amazing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend it. The property is an experience in itself. Great if you like epic views, sun rises/sets, or love open skies.

Pros:

Perched on a mountain overlooking the emeral green landscape of the property and San Jose, Chayote Lodge is a gift from the gods. Beginning with the friendly greeting by Roberto upon arrival to the breathtaking view from our suite and then to the gastronomic delights in the dining room, this boutique with individual suites is paradise. Where else can you be lulled to sleep and awaken to the sound of birds and flutter of butterflys all around you. We can't wait to return.

Pros:

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

Beautiful property with an excellent, friendly staff. It was a great stay for the last night before heading to the airport. I wished we had planned a few more days to enjoy the local sights and activities.

Pros:

Pequeño hotel en la cima de una loma con todas las habitaciones con vista a los volcanes, la mejor opción para pasar unos dias gozando de Costa Rica suficientemente alejado de la ciudad pero cerca del aeropuerto. Su personal muy amigable y orgullosos de su hotel, muy respetuoso con el medio ambiente rodeado de cafetales. Arquitectura muy interestante recordando a los "recibidores" de café. Jardines muy bonitos y el restaurante integrado al espacio con una carta muy amplia.

Pros:

Staying at the Chayote Lodge is all about the views. Each coffee inspired cabin has 100 mile views across the valley all the way to San Jose. You're well off the road so you may see a random car, traffic noise isn't a part of the experience. The staff was typical Costa Rica friendly and the food in the restaurant was wonderful. Our only suggestion, is if you offer a sunrise birder's tour, someone should be there or let you know it's not happening.

Ok for one night.
Pros:

Comfortable beds ok rooms. fantastic views
great dinner.
Ok for a pre flight stay. Just thought as every other hotel we stayed at it would have been nice to have coffee in the room as in every hotel we had stayed in Costa Rica.
I Was told I could get from restaurant which I walked to and then took back to room and then walk back to return cups. On checking out I was given a bill for these 2 coffee not a massive deal but thought it was really petty bearing in mind it was not the cheapest of options and we were in the middle off the coffee plantations

Pros:

The staff were wonderful and the property is stunning. We ended a 3-week visit here with an overnight stay and it was a refreshing change of pace. The night views of San Jose are beautiful. They were out of several dinner options, but overall, a lovely experience. We’d definitely consider coming back on our next visit.

Pros:

The property is super nice, but it needs to be taken care of. The hot water didn't work well, so we couldn't use the hot tub the fireplace is decorative and it should work since the room doesn't have heat, and it's kind of cold at night. When we arrived the staff never explained anything about the property of the room so we had to constantly keep asking things. The telephone also didnt work. For the price I payed I expected more.

Pros:

Amazing off the beaten track lodges. Warm welcome, clean rooms and nice food. Staff were v. Accommodating. Drive up to the lodge is steep, and it’s more like 1hr 15mins from the airport. I would definitely recommend.
