We would have liked a more powerful shower head rather than a “wand” in the shower. Also, hotter water would be great after a long day of hiking.

Lovely green area around the hotel with swimming pool. Very quiet area. Wonderful breakfast with lots of fresh fruit. Very clean and welcoming. My only complaint would be that the mattress was very in comfortable (feeling the springs) it is definitely time for a new one.

Destaco la tranquilidad y la belleza de las vistas. Un buffet del desayuno estupendo y una piscina que en los días de calor nos vino de maravilla. El detalle a la salida de una caja de dulces típicos fue el remate ideal de una estancia inolvidable. Desde ahí hicimos la ruta por los Pasadizos del Paiva y el Puente Colgante 516.
