Imago was wonderful. The staff were highly professional and well informed. They helped and offered their services freely. Loved Ramiro who gave me important tips like which side of your bus to sit on to get best views. The pool and spa were so necessary after long hikes to ease tired muscles to do more. A gift. Paula was special and courteous. Thank you Imago and staff!

Interior of the property is good. Breakfast coffee was terrible. No parking lot. Far away from town. It offered shuttle service. The hotel mandated to use their exchange rate in favor to them that they can charge more. We can't pay with their currency even we have their custom tourist document. Other hotel allowed us to pay in local currency without threaten us to pay taxes.

Serious deficits in service. Neglected surrounding of the hotel buildings. Asking for a delay of just 30 minutes for check out you simply get the answer “ not possible”. I.e. substantial lack of customer friendliness
