Very beautiful mountain-side hotel. The view was amazing and they had horses that you could ride for a very reasonable price on a very scenic route. Would highly recommend if going to lago san pablo.

Servicio de primera. Atención personalizada y amable. Instalaciones geniales con una vista increíble y excelente comida. Cuidado con los precios del transporte local que consigue el hotel. Son casi el doble el valor real de mercado.

The hotel is very beautiful and the staff was very helpful. However, we were the only guests at the property. I had purchased a King Suite through Expedia, but when I checked in they told me that I didn't pay enough for the suite and they tried to put me in a regular room. After waiting almost two hours they gave me the suite I paid for. The room and view were spectacular, but frustrating that they didn't honor the room I paid for on Expedia immediately.
