Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hot Springs

Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent
"I loved the peacefullness of the rainforest. The staff was amazing. The only thing that was not great was the food. They should specials on everyday of the week. I asked for eggs over medium and I got hard eggs. The steak tacos had no flavor and the steak was hard. The only good thing that we ate was the skirt steak with mash and they can put more mash on the plate."
