Casa Olonche Hotel

Casa Olonche Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"El hotel es precioso, todo su entorno te da mucha paz y tranquilidad ya que está rodeado de la naturaleza en una hacienda y llega la brisa del mar. El personal muy muy atento solo que nos hubiera gustado que nos guíen más para aprovechar el lugar y hacer actividades adicionales porque había para ir a caballo, volar en helicóptero, caminar por las instalaciones y ver a los animales, servicio de spa y gym. El desayuno muy variado y rico, quedamos llenitos. Y el cuarto demasiado bonito también, tal vez un incluir un espacio para la ropa como clóset estaría bien."

"No esta ubicado cerca del centro de Montañita (que era lo que yo estaba buscando porque queria estar lejos del ruido) La calle en donde esta ubicado esta en buen estado por lo que pudimos caminar durante el dia hasta el centro de Montañita Cerca de Olon, por lo que pudimos ir a pasar el dia a esta playa. El personal fue muy amable y atento. Hotel Pet friendly por lo que puede ir con mi perrita Molly. Tienes cocina comunal equipada. La unica mejora a considerar puede ser el espacio del parqueo que si el hotel esta lleno tienen que organizar mover los carros en caso de que alguno este obstaculizando la salida de otro. Recomendado."
