A PARADISE
A real paradise ! They served Colombian coffee all the time for free. They have a natural river with their own fish that cook for you very fresh. Everything is organic in that place. The food very delicious; I definitely recommend this hotel. Very private and cozy.

Este hotel es magnífico para personas amantes de la naturaleza y ambientalistas. Las habitaciones son muy bonitas, el masaje y facial q me dieron fue espectacular, la comida muy sabrosa. El desayuno era básico pero me dieron un queso hecho en la misma finca y comí pescado criado allí. No utilizan nada desechable y la gente es muy amable. El gimnasio es súper básico pero pude disfrutar de la piscina después de mis ejercicios.vel sonido de la cascada y el zumbar de los colibrí me dieron dos días de paz
