Mooie locatie maar slecht eten
Pros:

De locatie aan de rivier

Cons:

Het eten was gewoon niet goed. Vegan is prima maar breng het op smaak. Daarnaast erg kleine porties. We bestelden een pokebolw en kregen veel te weinig yoghurt. Toen we iets meer yoghurt vroegen moesten we daarvoor bijbetalen. Met dit soort tarieven kan dat echt niet.

Pros:

The environment is very tranquil and peaceful. Built sustainably and thoughtfully. Very relaxing and the natural pool and the bar/restaurant area is great.

Cons:

Food quality could improve. There are no other options besides eating at the restaurant and hence there was a lot to be desired from the menu/cooking

Pros:

Todo nos encantó. Un lugar en donde desconectas todo pensamiento del exterior y conectas con el interior y la naturaleza.

La construcción demasiado hermosa en guadua, nos hizo sentir mucha tranquilidad y frescura.

Cons:

Todos nos gustó. Volveríamos una y otra vez.

Pros:

La comida fue deliciosa, la naturaleza hace que sea un lugar muy especial, las habitaciones eran cómodas. Es un lugar perfecto para desconectarse.

Cons:

La respuesta es lenta en sus canales digitales. Contratamos un servicio de transporte con la empresa recomendada por el hotel y no nos recogió, el hotel no hizo seguimiento del tema. Se presentó una situación de bloqueos para llegar al aeropuerto en la zona y el hotel no nos avisó nada teniendo en cuenta que nuestro check in era al día siguiente, sino hubiese sido porque ese día salimos y estuvimos en otro hotel donde nos ayudaron a conseguir transporte, no nos hubiésemos enterado de nada. En ningún momento nos ayudaron, no ofrecieron soluciones, y realmente se sintió como que no les importaban sus huéspedes.
