It’s serene ambience. The food in the on-site restaurant is really good. Breakfast is great. The view is amazing. Nice personnel. The property is far from everything else so make sure you have a rental car if you chose this property. The puma trail is fun. Rooms have dehumidifiers which is nice. The doors from the balcony have large spaces between the door and the floor so expect bugs in the room.

A beautiful mountain setting surrounded by nature and hordes of hummingbirds. We saw a trop of 15-20 Coati on the ride in one evening and dozens of hummingbirds at breakfast every morning. The staff is gracious and friendly and always willing ti held with a reservation for a local excursion to the Coffee/Chocolate Plantations or the Adventure parks in the area. our visit was truly outstanding!

I loved this property it really made my stay perfect, i highly recommend it. The staff was amazing always going above and beyond to make you feel good. i would really like to recognize Laura for being so amazing with us and always trying to accomodate us, someone that really made are stay special was her in any way possible. The rooms where breathtaking specially the Deluxe jacuzzi room i really recommend it if your going with your special someone, i thought we weren't going to have time to use it and it was going to be an extra waste of money, but definitely not. The views from this Hotel are amazing from every angle. IF you really want. a top notch experience this is It, and dont miss out of the Spa, its going to blow your mind.
