Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The quality of materials (furnishings, kitchen, etc), was not very nice. Very sparse rooms, air conditioning in only the bedroom. Kitchen was too basic, only 2 burner stove and small refrigerator. Bed only had a sheet, no blanket. The living room only had 2 sitting chairs, no couch. Too basic for us.

No

If I could give this place half a star, I would. Thereā€™s nothing ā€œresortā€ about itā€”it barely qualifies as a hotel. Youā€™re essentially doing everything yourself. The resort has one restaurant with a repetitive menu. The food is okay, but portions are small and overpriced. Better options are a 10-minute walk away, but thereā€™s no convenience store on-site. For essentials like water or toiletries, youā€™ll need to trek 15 minutes to a supermarket. The resort is extremely hilly, with steep climbs back to your roomā€”especially exhausting after a day at the beach. Rooms lack basic amenities like shampoo and conditioner, offering only a generic ā€œhair and body wash.ā€ They also provide no washcloths or hand towelsā€”just two plain towels. Coffee machines come with only two complimentary pods, and extras cost $8 each. The beach is a 10-minute walk, crowded, and restricted to a small section for guests. You also have to pay for beach chairs. The resort has three small pools and hot tubs, but the latter arenā€™t regularly cleanedā€”just refilled nightly. Thereā€™s no room service, and food from the restaurant has to be picked up and carried back up the hill. Breakfast options are basic unless youā€™re willing to pay extra for toppings like onions or peppers. Rooms are only cleaned every three days, with sheets left unchanged. Towels were refreshed just once during our stay, and we had to take out our own trash because staff didnā€™t respond to requests. The only positive? The staff are pleasant.

Happy about our stay at Chogogo.

We enjoyed our stay at Chogogo. The furnishings were somewhat spartan but very clean. We loved the view from our balcony - the beautiful gardens and birds. The overall atmosphere of the grounds was relaxing and inviting.

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 doesnā€™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.

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.
