The hosts and staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout our four-day stay. We could sit at our breakfast table in the morning, take in a great view, and watch all the birdlife. The hotel is just outside of Manizales, so it was easy to get into the city with our rental car and close to other sites in the area as well. Great value for the price. Would definitely recommend it.

Habitación con muy mal olor

La habitación que me ofrecieron tenia un HEDOR terrible a humedad ademas de que se le estaba cayendo la pintura a las paredes, no se si solamente era esa habitación en particular o si todas las habitaciones tienen ese olor tan desagradable. El letrero que tienen para indicar la ubicación del hotel esta cubierto por pasto por lo que no se ve. LLEVAR EFECTIVO, cuando fui a realizar el pago no contaban con datáfono para realizar pago con tarjeta

El lugar es bonito y agradable pero en su página web deben ponee bien claro que hay que llevar comida, pedirla a domicilio o ir a la ciudad a comer. Además tienen un salón de fiestas que alquilan. Deberían avisar al huésped para que elija si quiere "descansar" con el ruido de una fiesta todo el día.

Stunning location, tranquil, views, nature.

The location is ideal...just on the outskirts of Manizales. Taxi drivers knew the location. Low fare to get there. Balconies with super comfy seating surrounds the hotel with incredible views. Many, many birds to see up close. Rooms with views that are clean, comfortable bed, hot shower, decent breakfast, and awesome staff. It was easy to explore the city from this location; we could catch a bus right at the end of the road, really nearby. We bussed to Chipre for the exceptional views of the volcanoes. From there we walked the main avenue and eventually taxied to a thermal springs. You won’t be disappointed with this peaceful location.

Es war schön , schlicht und einfach aber in einer tollen Lage, man steht auf, und hat eine wunderschöne Aussicht aus der Terrasse & die Colibris sind einem ganz nah. Abends kann man gemütlich auf der Terrasse ein Wein trinken und auf die Cikaden im Wald horschen. Man darf darunter kein Luxus erwarten, einfaches aber dafür sehr freundliches &familiäres Personal. Würden gerne auch wieder das gleiche Hotel besuchen :-).

Immersion in Colombian mountain forests

Ecohotel Juanita has an unparalleled view of coffee farms and magnificent vistas of mountains that extend out to a hazy horizon. No, I'm not being overly descriptive. It is one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen in my entire life, and I grew up in Hawaii. A tropical bird slept in the planter that hung outside our window, and there's a short forest trail from the hotel's steep staircase that will lead past plants and clear-winged butterflies. When you eat breakfast on the balcony, colorful birds visit the feeder to eat any fruit left there as others soar off into the distance. After breakfast, we walked down the dirt road to tour a coffee finca, led by the owner who has lived there for decades. I don't review most of the hotels I stay at, but I had to review Ecohotel Juanita. Don't get me wrong, this is not a luxury resort like those in Dubai or Las Vegas. But if you are looking for immersion in nature with simple, kind service, this is it.

Beware!! The photos are not a true representation!

The "natural pool" looked amazing in the photos! Not so much, unless you like swimming with live tadpoles! You couldn't see deeper than the first step! My daughter was extremely disappointed! Don't bother booking the "suite". The regular rooms were larger and nicer. The upgrade was only a jacuzzi tub I was scared to sit in! We were even without a t.v. the first night. Cleanliness was below average even for a finca. Workers were attentive and welcoming, but female manager (owner?) was defensive. We politely addressed our concerns at checkout but she was more concerned with charging us for the "extra person" that wasn't on the original reservation. She wouldn't even "trade" that cost for the pool condition or the missing t.v. We explained we were buying property just down the road and would regularly need accommodations for friends and family, but our repeat business was not a concern. Positives were quiet and nice view. Our guests will be passing this hotel to stay elsewhere. May have been a nice place before (when photos were taken), but is run down now!! Wish I had taken my own pictures to share!

La Juanita, une excellente adresse familiale

Rocío,la maîtresse de maison est adorable, drôle et attentionnée.La vue des chambres et du patio nous plonge littéralement dans les flancs de la montagne. Les colibris viennent se désaltérer à nos côtés pendant le petit-déjeuner. Organisée en un tour de main (du soir pour le matin 4h!), notre excursion jusqu'au glacier de Santa Isabelle nous a comblée, bien que rude. La Juanita, une excellente adresse familiale.

Tranquil locale

For the money it was perfect. Beautiful location outside of town. The bus to town was easy and cheap. Manizales can get a tiny bit dicey late at night, and the hotel was much safer than some of the comparable hotels in town. The staff were very nice. My room was a tiny bit musty, but everything else was very nice. I can easily recommend this place.
