A gem in the cloud forest
Amazing view from every individual lodge. This is an amazing property with a large natural areas with hiking trails. The trail levels would be moderate and difficulty, but it is really nice to be with trees and natures. Excellent services, staff are warm, friendly and helpful. Excellent dinner menu with very reasonable prices. Humming bird feeder brought nice visitors. The bird and nature guide (Carlos) booked through the lodge was excellent. We saw quetzal birds twice!!!

Worth the walk
YEs its a long walk to the bungalow but its worth it!
The room was amazing with the full windows, the jacuzzi bath and nice bed. The food was fabulous. We saw quetzals on the tour and I took a wonderful horseback ride as well
Thank you!

Lovely place
Lovely place with incredible views and very nice staff. The food is good, not great, but good enough! It's expensive so you expect more but overall, it's a nice place for a couple of nights.

We loved our superior forest bungalow overlooking the cloud forest. It was super cozy and very quiet. We were visited by many hummingbirds on our little deck. The restaurant was top notch - very pretty and intimate and the food was amazing. It was a great place for bird watching at breakfast and lunch. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Give it a try, you wont regreat it!
We had a great time discovering this hidden gem.
Restaurant service and food quality is exc!
The room was very well equipped, the bed is really comfy and the coolest thing about it is you gotta take a trial through the forest to get to your bungalow.
You will get to see lots of birds and its pretty calm to have a great sleep.
Im definitely coming back. Hopefully for the coldest time of the year.

Even with all the great reviews, this hotel exceeded our expectations. Amazing views from the rooms and everywhere else. Fantastic restaurant with glass walls looking into the surrounding trees and mountains. Totally recommended - try to arrive by daylight if possible- the final few kms would be challenging in the dark.

This lodge is in a wonderful location with excellent staff and dining. Extremely helpful and cognizant of our needs. When they found my wife had a struggle with the paths to the cabins they relocated us to make our stay easier without us asking. Overall great, they are on a mountainside so getting around can be a bit challenging. The restaurant was excellent and all the service was beyond reproach.
