Si estás buscando un lugar mágico para desconectarte del mundo, La Pausa Hotelbistró es una joya en Guatapé que lo tiene todo. Desde el momento en que llegas, sientes que el tiempo se detiene: la vista al embalse de Guatapé, la tranquilidad del paisaje y la energía pausada del lugar hacen que cada minuto sea especial. Las cabañas son acogedoras, elegantes y bien equipadas, muchas con jacuzzi privado, chimenea y terraza con vista al lago — ideal para parejas, escapadas románticas o simplemente descansar con estilo. El servicio es uno de los puntos más elogiados: el personal es amable, atento y siempre dispuesto a ayudarte, con detalles que marcan la diferencia (como el desayuno a la carta, room service 24/7 y limpieza diaria).

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our experience at Hotel La Pausa was very disappointing. The cleaning ladies and waiters are polite and decent, but the man at the front desk is opportunistic, unfriendly, and has a very poor attitude. They even tried to charge us for services we did not use. The Wi-Fi never worked during our entire stay, and the water —as shown in our video— was dirty at all times. On top of that, the front desk man doesn’t greet guests upon arrival or say goodbye upon departure, showing a total lack of courtesy. For the high prices they charge, the quality of service is terrible. We would not return and do not recommend this place.
