On the outskirts of the Central Valley, just 50 minutes from San Jose airport, Chayote Lodge is a perfect place to start or end your Costa Rican adventure.

Inspired by the rich coffee culture of the region, the property resembles a piece of the coffee picker's story and their lifestyle. Throughout, the architecture and design integrates the most noteworthy elements of the local coffee culture.

Its 12 spacious bungalows feature a private terrace with breathtaking views of nearby volcanoes, the Central Valley and on a clear day, out to the Nicoya Gulf on the Pacific Coast.

The main building offers an intimate fireplace, a terrace cafe, a bar and a fusion cuisine restaurant, mixing local flavours with international dishes.
