No

If I could give this place half a star, I would. There’s nothing “resort” about it—it barely qualifies as a hotel. You’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 there’s no convenience store on-site. For essentials like water or toiletries, you’ll need to trek 15 minutes to a supermarket. The resort is extremely hilly, with steep climbs back to your room—especially exhausting after a day at the beach. Rooms lack basic amenities like shampoo and conditioner, offering only a generic “hair and body wash.” They also provide no washcloths or hand towels—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 aren’t regularly cleaned—just refilled nightly. There’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 you’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 didn’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.

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 doesn’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.

basic but okay

Chogogo is the oldest resort in Jan Thiel Beach. The 2 bedroom appartments are spacious and clean. The landscaping is beautiful, very lush. You will have a great time in Jan Thiel Beach, with shops, ocean, diving, restaurants all within walking distance. There's a busstop just infront of the resort that will take you into the city. Just don't expect too much comfort staying at Chogogo. Beds are terrible, waterpressure in the shower is minimal, as is the service at the frontdesk.
