Absolutely: 10 The cabin was fantastic! Thank you for the spices, olive oil, and salt and pepper shakers. I love all the remodeling you have done with the place. The paths are much safer. Monica was outstanding in her service, attention, and accommodation to our needs, together with Morgan and Cris. They were friendly, professional, and extremely efficient in servicing any need we had. The sauna was awesome. I love that you made it more private on a reservation basis. All you need is that jacuzzi outdoors to make your place extra perfect !!! The chef made us a fantastic risotto, which we enjoyed so much. It's such a special place, we look forward to return soon. Sincerely, Arturo Arroyo. Ps. You may post this review in your website. I'll post it in Expedia as well. Aloha!!!
