The views were spectacular, and the pools were very pleasant. The restaurant was wonderful. We were there at a hot time of the year and there was no A/C, but plenty of fans and shade. Be aware that the road up is rough.

We loved the views from the restaurant and pool area. Our room It’s actually better than the photos, however we would have liked a more kitchen equipment. We booked the room with kitchenette, It had a lovely big dining area and kitchen but only a fridge and kettle nothing to cook with. The bed is lovely and comfortable and the extra fan was really good to have.

Extraordinary

Be ready for rough a ride up the hill and nothing around...but once you get there it's paradise. Perfect place to unwind far from city noise. (And no barking dogs!) Dani is a gem, speaks fluent English and super professional. We had a wonderful dinner and a great breakfast facing the mountains. You can even see the ocean. The little villas are rustic and super comfortable. I want to go back!

Beautiful outdoor setting at the top of the hill, with beautiful blue pool and string lights. Great views of the surrounding area and nature. The cottages are clean and well done. Surrounded by nature. Good restaurant. We had pesto pasta with shrimps, and garlic shrimp. Strawberry daiquiri was also great. The bike park and high end bike rentals sound awesome. We didn't try them. Friendly service. We also happened to talk to some of the owners. Great to hear what they are trying to do for the local community as well. Friendly service.

A hidden gem

A very beautiful place. A hidden gem with beautiful view. Communication not so good. We waited 3 hours for our dinner which was only one course. We asked several times when we will arrive and answer was: Soon. They had a bad chef and were not totally honest before the day after. The manager tried to fix it by offering us a free night if we stayed a night longer, but we already had planned our trip and booked hotel. Which probably most tourists have. The right thing would have been take one night off our current stay. This does not change the fact that it is a beautiful place and we would give it another chance if we would go back.

Look elsewhere.

Look elsewhere. The staff is friendly when you can find them. We stayed in a 2 bedroom casita, beds were full of bugs, not alive but just not what we expected. Bathroom was outdated and not clean, no ac and in San Mateo late march you need it. Was hard to sleep. The beds are very uncomfortable. No entertainment in casita. Three pools that were run down and outdated. Breakfast is free but very limited. Would not stay again.

The only problem was in the beginning with booking when I booked a smaller room and they gave me problems exchanging it for a larger one as it was some special deal. Should have been done without issues as I was going to pay more for a larger room. Other than that our stay was flawless. Very comfortable large 2 bedroom casistas great for families, kitchen, outdoor sink to wash off the mud, very comfortable. The view from the pool deck was amazing, very pleasant staff, great food, enough vegan options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some bikes for rental needed work so check make sure all is in working order. Three swimming pools including a baby pool. Would definitely return.
