Amazing place! I had a great time, I see no troubles in the hotel but the public transportation is hard to find. The rest was amazing.

Aussie Couple

I would not stay here again
Disappointing for the price. Location was good and apartments look nicely painted. However the complex is much bigger than we were lead to believe and a lot of apartments on top of each other doesn’t make for a very private experience. Soundproofing is poor with a lot of noise from the regular slamming doors from other apartments around you (they need to fix these doors with some rubber door stops etc). The pool was not enjoyable as too many uncontrolled children, my wife and I were hit by flying balls and toys on a number of occasions. Poor behaviour by guests that staff need to do something about for the sake of respectful guests. Staff were very polite and friendly, but did not seem overly knowledgeable about services within the resort. The kitchenette was very limited, just a hot plate. No basics at all provided in the kitchen, no salt or pepper, cooking oil or even dishwashing liquid.

Dear guests, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with us. Our resort is quite big and we hear from other guests that they didn't even notice how big the resort is because of the quietness and peacefulness all over the resort. But of course it is unfortunately to hear that you experience this otherwise. It is true that our kitchen has all the tools like glasses, plates, pans, forks, knives, spoons etc. We offer our guests some free Nespresso coffee cups at arrival. We will make a note that you miss some other basics like mentioned. We hope to welcome you some other time at TIME TO SMILE Chogogo Dive & Beach Resort. Maybe a bungalow gives you more what you prefer, bigger kitchen, dishwasher, more space etc. We kindly advise you. Kind regards, Chogogo Resort

The units are hot and a/c in the bedroom goes off as soon as tou go out of the bedroom. The bathroom is accros the hall from bathroom and super hot...you sweat while you shower!! TV only has 3 channels, 3 in German and 1 in Dutch. No free wifi in the bungalows.

Best Seen From Afar
The gardners and waiters were really nice. The landscaping was nice. The other staff could not smile to save their lives. We arrived at night, and security could barely tell us how to get to our room, and it took several tries to find it. Then, there was no soap in it. Not in the bathrooms, the sinks, anywhere. Every towel we got was torn or frayed. No wash cloths at all. The pillows were tiny and only one each. It took five days out of our seven day stay to get more pillows. We could not buy soap on site, or any amenities. We had to go to the store down the street. The cottages are clustered together on a hillside. Down the hill is the beach, which is closed off with a fence covered in barbed wire. The beach has chairs side by side covering all the sand. You pay for your chair. Its a whole mentality of being separated from the rest of the island and the people who live on it. I have to say that there was just nothing gracious or welcoming about the resort. The other guests were nice, that much is true. But they too had come to vacation among the very same people they live with. Also, it is a desert island. Don't expect the tropics or big beautiful beaches. But that is Curacao, and not about the resort.

basic but okay
Chogogo is the oldest resort in Jan Thiel Beach. The 2 bedroom appartments are spacious and clean. The landscaping is beautiful, very lush. You will have a great time in Jan Thiel Beach, with shops, ocean, diving, restaurants all within walking distance. There's a busstop just infront of the resort that will take you into the city. Just don't expect too much comfort staying at Chogogo. Beds are terrible, waterpressure in the shower is minimal, as is the service at the frontdesk.

Deilig Bungalow
Hotellets 3 roms bungalower var et fantastisk godt tilbud til en ferierende familie. En liten skuffelse var det st Hotels.com annonserte kong size beds i alle rom. Det var det ikke. Ett rom med king size, ett rom med to enkle senger og ett rom med enkeltseng. Området hadde gode tilbud både hva gjelder aktiviteter og bespisning.

Zufriedenstellender Aufenthalt
Wir hatten eine Superior Suit mit Meerblick. Das Zimmer war von der Göße ausreichend. Leider waren an 2-3 Tagen kleine Ameisen im Zimmer. (Wurden dann vom Personal stark reduziert.) Ein Nachteil ist dass an den Türen und Badfenstern kein Glas ist, sondenr nur "Holzjalousien" --> Nicht 100% abschließbar --> Ich wurde von Mücken geplagt. Sonst ist das Resort gut. Lage an Jan Thiel Es gibt kostenlose Bustikets in die Stadt.

Tolles Resort
Wir waren im März 2015 für 12 Nächte im Chogogo. Der Aufenthalt hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Personal ist durchweg freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Restaurant ist spitze.Die tropischen Pflanzen der Aussenanlagen sind atemberaubend. Das Zimmer verfügt über einen großen Kühlschrank und Kitchenette. Der Strand Jan Thiel ist ca. 3 Gehminuten entfernt, schönere Strände können einfach mit einem Mietwagen erreicht werden. Ein Mietwagen empfehlen wir für Curacao. Und hat der Aufenthalt gut gefallen, wir werden wieder ins Chogogo kommen!

El hotel es bastante bueno; las instalaciones muy amplias, muy bien cuidadas y el servicio de buena calidad; las habitaciones son amplias pero por el tamaño del complejo es indispensable contar con un auto de renta para poderse mover comodamente.
