The resort is peaceful and clean. Most staff was friendly. We only had one unpleasant experience. On Tuesday, the twelfth. I think his name was Eric. My husband stayed he spoke to him rudely. I loved Jose Maria and Genesis! They are genuinely kind and friendly. I would love to go back, however, the road leading to the resort is very rough! You almost need a 4 x 4. It’s a dirt road and lots of curves and narrow! I can not imagine it when it rains. I also noticed some small worms in the room. I didn’t mind it since the resort is out in nature. I think they were harmless. The pool is very beautiful and so is the dining area.

The property is surrounded by nature and it is like being in the paradise. The possibility seeing the wild life is great. Monkeys, all kind off birds, etc. Good choices for food with reasonable prices. Excellent service. Unique regions with mineral water and mud that offers great experience.

The resort was absolutely gorgeous, and we would stay there again. The staff were friendly. Our only complaint was that the food wasn’t very good, and leaving the resort to eat is not the easiest given its location up in the mountains. I got a steak on our first night there that was not cheap and it was so hard and fatty I couldn’t eat it. I let them know, and there was no offer made of another protein, or even consideration to take it off the bill. Go here for the experience and the relaxation, because it is beautiful in so many ways. My wife and I aren’t big eaters so the food not being great wasn’t a deal breaker for us.

Property and staff are top notch! However, if you go here, plan to stay here because the hotel is out of the way. There is a treacherous 10 km long dirt and gravel road full of pot holes which you have to travel slowly on or you will damage your car. You can have a shuttle pick you up and stay at the resort and do all the activities on the resort including the thermal pools etc.. instead. Book the activities in advance because they do book up by others from day pass users (people not staying on the resort). So, if you think the hotel has low occupancy the activities and thermal pools could still be full. Nice resort overall but they need to fix the road leading to it. It was the worst one we travelled on during the two weeks we drove over 800 kms. Further to this, don’t plan to stay here more than 3 days as it is out of the way from other points of interest.

Beautiful property with large pool area and thermal pools with walking trails. Stayed in junior suite high above and was able to see amazing sunset. Room service offerings were limited to dinner, resort is not easily walkable, you need to request shuttle if you stay higher up in suites. Road to get to resort was very rocky, but worth it.
