Beautiful place to stay! Comfortable and the staff were all friendly. The only problem was the dogs barking for hours on end. They were likely the neighbors packs of dogs but could still be heard quite loudly which was annoying. The last night the sweet little dog at the hotel started in with them around 3:30 am waking us up.

The staff at Palo Alto Glamping was absolutely amazing. I was welcomed with smiling face and warm hearts from the moment I checked in. The staff is extremely accommodating. The bartender Anthony makes the most amazing craft cocktails and provided excellent services. The concierge was able to assist with booking horseback riding and a private tour of a waterfall. The chocolate scrub and massage that I received was amazing as well. The domes were huge with comfy beds, great a/c, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom provided an amazing tropical experience while showering with the beautiful plants hanging over head. Last but not least the food was 5 star worthy. The chef makes the most amazing dishes that are extremely affordable.
