Top El General Hotel Reviews

Trogon Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms though small were well maintained and still large enough. The food was fantastic and the staff was very intensive The property is very well maintained. Only drawback was that the internet is only in certain areas. I had some unexpected work to do and had to do it in the bar because internet was not available in my room"

Lamangata Luxury Surf Resort - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Lamangata was one of the best stays I've ever had. The property sits high in the hills above the jungle with views all the way to the ocean, and the infinity pool looking out over the valley is unreal, especially at sunrise and sunset. The team plans everything for you. Each morning a hand-drawn chalkboard lists the tide times, meals and the day's activities, so all we had to do was show up. Our surf instructor started us off in the pool before taking us out in the ocean, which made learning feel easy and safe. They also set up a zipline and a trip to the Nauyaca waterfalls, and the transport ran right on time. The food was a highlight: fresh, colorful and made from scratch every day. Avocado toast, tacos, poke bowls, shrimp ceviche, BBQ ribs. Everything was delicious. The rooms are beautiful, with warm wood, stone sinks, soft lighting and a walk-in shower, and they were spotless. The common areas feel open and calm. What really set it apart was the staff. They were warm and attentive and made us feel like family. On our last day they gave us printed photos from the trip with a thank-you note, a touch we'll never forget. I can't recommend it enough and can't wait to come back."

Canavida Villas & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing piece of paradise! The property is stunning and the staff is very friendly and informative. I would say a 4x4 vehicle is required, especially in the rainy season. We saw tons of birds and enjoyed listening to the howler monkeys in the morning from the porch. I would definitely stay again and refer my friends!"

Savegre Hotel Natural Reserve & Spa

8/10 Good

"El cuarto siempre lo mantuvieron limpio, el desayuno es estilo bufet y es muy rico, la comida en el restaurante del hotel es muy buena y con precios accesibles, la atención del personal es muy amable y enfocada en los huespedes, el Spa es demasiado bueno, es un punto alto en el hotel, los masajes son de otro nivel."
