Ronny and his staff were so kind and accommodating and made this stay absolutely worth it. We were welcomed with a cocktail and had a custom ordered tasty breakfast every morning. The room itself is small (and no door to the bathroom) but it is all you really need. The secluded rooftop patio was our favorite place to be during sunsets. The restaurant is bustling but the noise dies down early in the night. The property is on top of a hill (car required) and is about a 10 minute drive to everything. Thank you for hosting us!

Great food onsite. Special touches like a souvenir coati and local coffee, snacks and drinks in room. Staff went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were attended to. Cannot beat the location in the cloud forest. Make sure to pack some warm clothes as clouds, wind and rain come through quickly and really cool things down!
