However, I would recommend for those who are low budget travelers but who are willing to take a break and rest in their amazing hot springs. They do have hiking trail, but it is the best not to go in the midst of rain. You will slip and get yourself all muddy. I learn that that hard way. You can walk around the town, but honestly, there is not too much to see aside from the church and cemenetry.The church had an interestingsaint with a sword in her hand. I would love to learn more about that. Other thing that I really like about this place is that hot springs are completely accessible, food being first class, and fireplace being readily available.It is a sleeper, and I recommended it. If there is any downside to it, they locked everything up until 7am. It means I (without a vehcile) cannot get out until 7am. It means I could miss my flight. The breakfasts are not ready until 830 am. However, everything is affordable, so this is a decent tradeoff. ##### Armando Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Yamila 9 Jun 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Terrible no se la recomiendo a nadie, de hecho hasta me retire sin hacer mi check-In y lo más triste es que el dinero no es reembolsable, pero en verdad preferí perderle a quedarme en ese lugar, sugiero cambiar las fotos de publicidad que tiene, porque en verdad no corresponde con el estado y condiciones actuales de la propiedad ##### Yamila Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michele 20 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities … ##### Michele Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana 14 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Me encanto volvería ##### Diana Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Aug 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owners and staff were wonderful.

The service is first class and very down to earth. Andres does a great job. Rodrigo, the owner, is a very knowledgeable on ancient Indian history, especially Maya. By the way the hotel is located right on the Equator line. The natural beauty of the hotel setting cannot be improved.
