The room including the bathroom was very spacious and clean. Rooms had a good variety of coffee/tea plus bathroom amenities (lotion, shampoo, etc.). Breakfasts were filling and balanced but were lacking in animal protein. Overall the hotel and trails were very enjoyable. The only downsides: location (a bit further from town center) and restaurant was quite pricey (not sure if the food was worth the cost).

Rooms were simple but spacious and very clean and comfortable beds and linens. Cute little patio. Included breakfast was gourmet and excellent. The dinner options were a little expensive and not many options for the kids but was gourmet and great for foodies. The restaurant itself had a fireplace which looked great but made the lodge quite smoky and our clothes and hair smelled quite strong afterwards. The trails were very nice. It’s off the beaten path so after dark around 5:30 there’s not much to do but rest or taxi to the nearest town. Very challenging roads.

The staff was amazing!! Could not do enough for you. The room was very nice and clean, the views from the property were beautiful. We did not know there was a little town not far til the day we left, that was disappointing. The road to the lodge was unpaved and unlit, it was good the dining room and menu had good variety cuz after dark we weren’t driving anywhere. I wish they had had a hot tub and spa, would have been a nice option.

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!
