First, the staff was excellent. The problem was the manager/owner wasn't present the entire week we stayed with a group of Columbians & Americans. No hot water the first two days. The four rooms not connected to the main area was like staying in a barn. The animal smell was not acceptable! Riding wasn't available as listed on property. The cockroaches were "way too many" to even talk about and spiders in rooms. No amenities in rooms and the shower heads were terrible.

A fan on the ceiling would be so much better and better looking than the one standing in the room. Wifi is weak and only available in the central space. As we are a bit of digital nomads, internet is quite essential for us. We would have loved to stay longer with a better connection.||The hotel is cozy and the few guests and the owners mingled easily. Friendly owners and staff. They serve simple but good dinners. The place is in the middle of nature and that is where it shines. And the star is a spectacular waterfall on the estate down in the valley. It's a steep walk...
