Beautiful property in the woods. The hotel restaurant serves wonderful foods. Lots of nature and fresh air. The room was good and had hot water for shower. Internet WiFi was spotty at best but we did have good mobile reception. Good location.

It's an escape for one night. The house is dark, for its size there was no sufficient lights. Despite a space in a kitchen there was a refridgerator only, no coffee maker, no wash sink. A good restaurant is on the site. Beautiful nature and kids playground to spend a half day there.

We went for 3 days to the Junior Suite 1. First day there was a wedding. Noise all night long When we got there, the TV did not work. Wifi slow and sometimes it went down. Antes on the sink, the staff told me that "usually happens". No mosquito screen. You need to sleep with windows opens, which usually slam at night. You can hear your neighbor through the walls. Mattresses are really hard. The keys did not work. Staff told me to "insert the key slightly". That was their solution, did not work. I don't know what happened to Casa Grande Bambito. Maybe it's the staff? But I felt the attention was the minimum. Sadly, won't be returning.

Quizás incluir abanicos en las habitaciones podría brindar mayor comodidad mientras se está dentro de ella. Regularmente es fresco pero tiene pocas ventanas de ventilación lo que no circula el aire para que se sienta el frío como afuera de la habitación.

Waren überhaupt nicht zufrieden. Die ganze Anlage ist ziemlich heruntergekommen, von der Zimmereinrichtung ganz zu schweigen. Das Bettgestell war kaputt, die Wände hatten Risse sowie die Möbel auch. Die Bettwäsche war fleckig und somit unnutzbar, weshalb wir unsere Reisehandtücher zum schlafen nutzen mussten. Im Badezimmer krabbelten mehrere Ameisen auf dem Waschbecken und der Ablage und eine Raupe fanden wir auch. Wir hatten eines der Zweibettzimmer mit Gartenblick, das direkt gegenüber von dem Restaurant lag, wo an diesem Tag eine Hochzeit gefeiert wurde. Darüber wurden wir zu keinem Zeitpunkt informiert. Die extrem laute Musik brachte unsere Tür zum Beben und wir konnten nicht schlafen. Eigentlich hatten wir das Hotel für 2 Nächte gebucht, flüchteten aber nach einer Nacht, weil es so schrecklich war!

Una estadía relajante

La experiencia en general fue muy buena ya que te encuentras en medio de la naturaleza, con un clima delicioso, a orillas de un río. Las personas que atienden en general muy amables. La comida tanto del restaurante para almuerzo y cena deliciosa y a unos precios excelentes. Las opción es de desayuno qué vienen incluidas con el hospedaje muy bueno. Lo único que les puedo sugerir es mejorar la limpieza de los cuartos, ya que al estar em el medio de tanta naturaleza se meten insectos en las esquinas de las habitaciones. Y también me parece que los baños necesitan anaqueles para que uno pueda colocar sus acceaorios de baño a la hora de ducharse.

Beautiful Hotel, next to a river and nice garden. Weather is perfect, at around 60-75 degrees farenheit. It can get a bit chillier at night so bring a light coat. Staff is limited. They have 1 restaurant and 1 coffee shop which was closed. They don’t offer room service. Price was very decent. I would stay again.

Les murs sont en carton. Le service au resto est pitoyable et tellement long, la nourriture est bien. Il charge pour faire un mini zipline sur place, ca devrait etre inclus. Il y a des velos mais tous brisés. Possibliter de faire du lavage. Je m’attendais a plus, une change que le site est jolie.

Buen Lugar

El hotel esta muy bonito, comodo, buen restaurante, la pasamos muy bien!!!!. Solo dos cosas por mejorar, no tiene aire acondicionado, lo entiendo porque el lugar es fresco, pero en ese caso las ventanas deben tener malla anti insectos cosa que uno pueda abrir las ventanas sobre todo en la noche para que la habitacion se ventile. Por lo demás excelente, las vistas son espectaculares
