Excellent service and very kind, helpful people. We enjoyed our stay on our way to Cahuita. Highly recommended. Thanks to Ruben and the whole crew at CheTica, especially Francis. Thank you all.
The room was clean and lots of space. We arrived late to a prepared meal and then had to leave early, but a lovely breakfast was delivered before hand. Very friendly.
San Gerardo de Dota was the highlight of our week long trip to Costa Rica. The hotel was wonderful with a super friendly and helpful staff. The Quetzal tour was awesome and highly recommended.
This is our second time at Chetica. Each room has a unique, themed design. We have stayed in Seville and this time in “Big Bear” which reminds you of a mountain cabin. The rooms have big bathrooms and a kitchenette with a coffeemaker and coffee provided. The breakfast is delicious. You are in the hills with fresh air and beautiful gardens. It is very convenient if you are driving to the Caribbean side and don’t want to drive that road at night. The only small problem that we have run into is that there is not always someone at the front gate to let you in. Give Rueben, the owner, a call if you have a problem.
