There are so many positive things I can share regarding my stay at Chetica. If you wish to recuperate with no worries and receive tender loving care, this is the place to stay. The cottages are lovely,with plenty of hot water, TV, micro, refrig. and a fireplace...to many things to name. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Nurse Francis is... More

Once again, CheTica Ranch exceeded all my expectations. Recently completed my 3rd stay there, & it was delightful. I love the variety of cottages available & the amenities are continually expanding. WiFi worked great, as did cable TV, & the several computers in the dining room are a real bonus. However, the owners, Ruben & Lorena, & their staff are... More

This is a recovery centre centred about a mile from the rain forest in the mountains outside San Jose. The temperature there is probably 10-20 degrees cooler than it is in San Jose but the cool temperature is good for healing. The cabins are very rustic and certain services like hot water and heat oft times do not work. There... More

Che Tica is indeed a place for recuperating. The cabins are quaint and each one distinctive. Meals are to die for and the staff is most attentive to all your needs. The nurse on staff is probably the best part of the ranch, she is not only attentive but genuinely caring for her patients. Be prepared to be given space... More

I loved my stay at Chetica Ranch and found the cool, misty mountains perfect for healing and recovery after my extensive surgery. Furthermore, the nurse on hand, Francesca was wonderful and made sure that all my medical needs were met including pharmacy trips that I couldn't make. The food was excellent, very healthy with the main large meal at lunch... More

I am shocked that anyone has given more than a 2 for this place,,CheTica. Probably one of the worst places I have ever been,,reasons,,#1,,FOOD,,the most mis represented part of the stay!,,Nobody who is recovering from a facelift should be eating meat,or hard foods requiring cutting! The meals were horrible,with no taste,or full of salt, no snacks,no selection,,if you want to... More

I went to Che tica after having some cosmetic work done. I had heard mixed reviews however it was recommended by my plastic surgeon. I loved it there. The casitas were very private. They were all quite unique so all the visitors had their own distinct space. The food was very fresh and good. They took you to your doctor... More
