What Our Guest Say About Us?
I have travelled all over the world and stayed in many hotels. The hospitality and kindness shone through. Of course the lodge is beautiful and the rooms have all you need but the staff and owners make this place special.

We just returned from our third visit at Chaa Creek. It truly is a magical place. This time we were given a complementary upgrade to one of the Ix Chel Villas. Wow, it was beautiful, with a nice balcony overlooking the rainforest and a private hot tub.
