A most spectacular location with awe-inspiring views. Photos from H Altura are on my smartphone lock screen and my laptop wallpaper. The fire pagoda was very nice to help keep the chill away. We were not expecting to be cool when visiting CR. I loved it. My wife, she had a little challenge to stay watm, the only reason I cannot give a full 5 star on every score. They had vegan breakfast for me, which was delicious. Front desk staff were very helpful, and we had many excursions based here.

This was one of the most incredible stays we’ve ever had. The views, location, and scenery were breathtaking, and the room was both beautiful and practical. We stayed in the King Suite overlooking the valley, which also had a small rooftop area offering an even more stunning vantage point. From the suite, we could see donkeys and cows roaming below, which only added to the charm and natural beauty of the setting.

Just amazing! Waking up in front of the forest was a mn amazing experience. We spent one day in the family tent and it was very confy except for the extra bed. I would recommend max 4 people. Breakfast was very good and in the master dome with incredible view. We also loved the firepit event in the evening when we had time to meet with others guests! Definetely worth to stay!
