The hotel is well taken care of. The hotel has a dock which you can sit down and relax while enjoying the view of the water. The staff is very friendly and offer superior service. The food is delicious and prepared in a timely manner. Josue was the mastermind behind the coffee that was sold. The coffee was great and he provided us with where the coffee was grown and how to enjoy.

We loved our stay! The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Very cool setting— gorgeous lake. Lots to do in the surrounding area. Be prepared to do some planning, and to spend money on excursions. Also, the road to the hotel is not paved, which adds to travel time. All in all, it’s still a great place to stay.
