Beautiful stay surrounded by nature with stunning ocean views
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay in this location surrounded by nature, with breathtaking views that are truly rare to find. One of the best parts of the experience is waking up, eating and spending the whole day with a sea view. Guests can also access the facilities of the neighboring properties within the same complex, including two swimming pools and a spa, which are very relaxing and comfortable. The food was good and reasonably priced, and the same goes for the drinks. The staff was very kind and helpful. Considering this is a three-star hotel, we had a very positive experience overall and no major complaints.

Cons:

The only downside was related to communication regarding transfers. We had previously requested and confirmed transfers with the hotel, but upon arrival they turned out not to be properly confirmed and were more expensive than expected. This created some unnecessary stress while trying to organize the transportation.

Luna de miel exótica en Maloka
Pros:

El tiempo que pasamos en Maloka de Finca Barlovento lo guardaremos para siempre en nuestra memoria. Era maravilloso levantarse y ver el encuentro del rio, el mar y la selva. Los desayunos y la comida eran excelentes y muy llenadores. Nos enamoramos arepas con huevo frito y las carimañolas. Muchas gracias por recuerdos inolvodables.

Dem Meeresrauschen lauschen und entspannen
Pros:

Hier zahlt man vor allem für die Lage! Meeresblick! Rauschendes Meer. Privatstrand. Das ist schon was besonderes. Das Essen war in Ordnung. Der Transport vom Hotel zum Flughafen war günstig. Bei mir hat das WLAN gut funktioniert. Man muss halt beachten, dass jeder Bereich auf der Hotelanlage einen eigenen WLAN-Namen hat, aber mit dem selben Passwort. Man konnte selbstständig die eigene Wasserflasche auffüllen.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war sehr groß, ließ sich aber schlecht kühlen. Die Fenster waren alle undicht, sodass Insekten leicht ins Zimmer kommen konnten. Das Zimmer bietet nicht besonders viel Privatssphäre. Wenn die Gardinen nicht richtig zu sind, kann man von zwei Seiten total ins Zimmer reinschauen. Besonders unangehm ist das Badezimmer. Auch hier sind von zwei Seiten Fenster vorhanden, die zwar einen Holz-Sichtschutz haben, dieser Sichtschutz lässt sich aber nicht verschließen. Personen die unmittelbar von draußen am Bad vorbeilaufen, können totat reinschauen. Erst recht wenn es draußen dunkel ist und im Bad Licht an ist. Das fand ich sehr unangehehm. Die Suite lohnt sich nicht. Ein Standardzimmer mit Meeresblick ist besser und hat auch den Vorteil, dass die Bäder keine Fenster haben, somit kann keiner reinschauen und man spart ca. 50 Euro pro Nacht und man ist näher am Restaurant.
Ich hatte bei meiner Hinreise drum gebeten, mich von meiner damaligen Unterkunft, die nur 5km entfernt lag, abzuholen, leider erhielt ich keine Antwort. Der Strand sah nicht so schön aus, wie auf den Bildern, er war voller Geäste.

Belíssimo local para relaxar em meio à natureza
Pros:

A hospedagem tem instalações confortáveis e paisagens belíssimas. Muita natureza, animais livres, estrutura como restaurante e piscina e diversas áreas para descanso e contemplação. O café da manhã é maravilhoso, com opções diversas. O restaurante serve outras refeições muito boas. O quarto é confortável.

Cons:

O banheiro tinha um chão muito escorregadio, tornando-se perigoso. O chuveiro tinha aquecimento por painéis solares entretanto a água era muito pouca e difícil de esquentar.
A hospedagem não tem acessibilidade, por exemplo, para chegar ao restaurante há uma escada longa.

camere grandi

Cons:

un po di odore di muffa nelle camere ma forse il posto è molto umido e quindi probabilmente difficile da togliere

Pros:

El lugar es muy bonito. Está ubicado en un lugar bastante excepcional donde se junta el mar y el río. Las habitaciones son cómodas, ienen una preciosa vista, la comida es muy buena y las instalaciones del Hotel, incluyendo el spa también muy bonitas e integradas a la naturaleza.

Cons:

El personal que atiende tiene niveles muy disímiles. Es evidente que no hay un estándar común, por lo que si bien uno se encuentra con personas amables y más dispuestas a entregar un buen servicio hay otras que claramente tienen un aproximación muy deficitaria a un concepto de servicio al huésped (pobre manejo de información turística y del propio Hotel, demora en las respuestas, trato poco amable, poca respuesta lenta y algo displicente para dar solución pronta a requerimientos que se solicitan, por dar algunos ejemplos). Por otra parte, los servicios que ofrece el Hotel a través de su página no estaban todos disponibles. En nuestro caso, una de las razones de elección del Hotel, fue la posibilidad de tomar clases de yoga, lo cual no fue posible ninguno de los días que estuvimos ahí. Solicitamos como alternativa que nos prestaran la sala de yoga para poder practicar por nuestra cuenta, pero eso tampoco fue posible, por lo que las fotos que aparecen de la infraestructura de yoga en el perfil del Hotel ni siquiera la vimos.

En consecuencia, el precio es bastante elevado para el nivel de servicio que se ofrece. Estuvimos luego en otro Hotel de la zona con un estándar de servicio de muy buena calidad y en un entorno muy bonito y acogedor a la mitad del valor que Barlovento.

Paradis à ne pas trop dévoiler !

Hôtel incroyable. Un paradis qui nous a instantanément fait oublier la déception liée à la fermeture du parc. Tout était parfait : la chambre, le personnel, le cadre, la vue…

Magnifique vue , très bel hôtel
Pros:

La vue incroyable sur la rivière et sur la mer

Cons:

La chambre était un peu "défraîchie " et mériterait une rénovation... exemple : couvre-lits de mamie déchires pour une chambre à 185 euros....
