FAQS

Chayote Lodge is nestled in a charming village of about 200 residents, just 25 miles northwest of Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San José, on the route to Arenal Volcano. Perched at 5,400 feet above sea level, the lodge is
surrounded by lush coffee fields and mystical cloud forests.
From here, guests can enjoy breathtaking views of four volcanoes, the Central Valley, and even glimpses of the Pacific Ocean. Its central location makes it the ideal base to explore Costa Rica’s natural wonders and immerse in its authentic
culture.

Costa Rica is best experienced by exploring different regions— from beaches to volcanoes to rainforests. While one night at Chayote Lodge is possible (often at the start of a journey to Arenal Volcano), we recommend at least two nights to allow time for local activities. The ideal stay is three nights, ensuring a deeper connection with this incredible region.

Chayote Lodge is not about traditional luxury; rather, it offers the luxury of meaningful experiences. Our eleven Recibidor Suites and one Forest Suite are thoughtfully designed to provide comfort while embracing Costa Rica’s rich culture.
