Lodge at Chaa Creek

The bar at Chaa Creek was excellent! Great service and great drinks! We were able to sample different infused rums. Delicious! The best part was the customer service! We enjoyed our time so much, we visited the bar a second time! Highly recommended!

This place is absolutely beautiful. Our little cottage was cozy and clean with beautiful views of lush garden and tons of exotic birds. Chaa creek also offers many onsite activities such as horseback, canoeing and guided hikes. Service was impeccable. From the servers to the concierge, everyone made sure we had what we needed for a great stay. We would definitely recommend this place and are even contemplating going back with our family.

Our stay at Chaa Creek was absolutely unforgettable. Nestled in the heart of the jungle, the lodge offered the perfect combination of tranquility and adventure given their unique location/ proximity to major attractions. The staff were incredibly and uniquely welcoming and knowledgeable from our initial contact to departure. Lydia helped us arrange initial logistics and some tours. Our room was comfortable, well-maintained, and had a special view of this fig tree that was always packed with Toucans and other special bird as well as visits from the howler monkeys. The bar has an incredible selection of locally themed infused rum, vodka and tequila as well as usual brands and they mix great cocktails. We had every meal at the lodge and it never disappointed or got boring since they change the menu/ theme every night. They operate their own tours and every tour we joined equally impressed us particularly the ATM cave tour with knowledgeable guide, Alexie, that made the experience a once in a lifetime and safe experience. We took advantage of proximity to the Guatemala border and visited Tikal but opted for a private tour given the all day tour and mixed lodge clientele age/ range. We were debating about the fact our room wouldn’t have air conditioning but it was not a problem at all as the climate was very mild and they have so many fans in the room that in fact we sometime had to turn off. It is very safe and you see and hear wild life all day and night but if you’re a light sleeper like me, you may want to pack your ear plugs for when monkeys go too crazy or the family staying at the next lodge enjoy their time and are too loud because you can hear them. It truly felt like an oasis, and we can’t wait to return!

Loved every minute of our stay at Chaa Creek. The staff and property are amazing. The children loved the pool and practically lived in it during our stay. We enjoyed the butterfly garden and the nature walk. Met so many wonderful staff who all went above and beyond to accommodate us. We’re already planning our return soon.

Sept 3-6, 2024 We were a group of 6 and stayed in the 2BD Ix Chel Villa and Junior suite. The 2BD villa has a hot tub in addition to the pool. The junior suite has a pool. Both have air conditioning. The 2BD villa has a large living room/dining room area that was perfect for us to gather in between our actives. There are games, cookies, and coffee bar in the room. No Tv. We had a private butler who was professional, helpful and fun to be around. It was my birthday and she set us up a dinner party in a private area and had it decorated with balloons, flowers and a birthday dessert. She did this on her own. We did not request it! A daily breakfast was included and it was delish. Lunch and dinner were reasonably priced and excellent. We only stayed 3 nights b/c we moved to Manta Island for the 2nd half of the trip. But we wish we could've stayed one extra night. One the first full day, we took an offsite cave tubing and maya ruins tour (St. Leonards), came back around 7 PM for a beautiful outside dinner and did the night hike. Next day we were able to tour the butterfly house and museum, take a cooking class, a do the onsite side by side tour of the property. All were great fun. - If we had more time we would have taken a canoe ride down the river or done horseback riding. Weather was great except for arrival day- it was a monsoon, but it was over in about an hour.
