Property is spectacular with the most amazing views! The on site restaurant serves local farm to table food that is delicious! The rooms are a little small and run down but we didn’t spend much time in them other than to sleep. Lots of beautiful trails to explore and the night hike is recommended! Overall a fantastic experience if you are good with a rustic room and a few bugs!

The hotel is gorgeous with a spectacular view of the mountains. The property has lots of scenic trails with lookout points. The staff is kind and everything is very clean. The hotel and restaurant are very eco-friendly, and fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs can be seen growing on the property using sustainable resources. Our family really enjoyed the night tour with our guide Eduardo, who was funny, making it all the more fun. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The food was fresh and delicious, especially their red fruit pie!
