A PARADISE
A real paradise ! They served Colombian coffee all the time for free. They have a natural river with their own fish that cook for you very fresh. Everything is organic in that place. The food very delicious; I definitely recommend this hotel. Very private and cozy.

Este hotel es magnífico para personas amantes de la naturaleza y ambientalistas. Las habitaciones son muy bonitas, el masaje y facial q me dieron fue espectacular, la comida muy sabrosa. El desayuno era básico pero me dieron un queso hecho en la misma finca y comí pescado criado allí. No utilizan nada desechable y la gente es muy amable. El gimnasio es súper básico pero pude disfrutar de la piscina después de mis ejercicios.vel sonido de la cascada y el zumbar de los colibrí me dieron dos días de paz

Bello lugar para descansar. Necesita remodelación!
La propiedad de El Refugio es espectacular, tiene un extenso terreno, jardines bellisimos y una casa principal muy linda. Es un excelente lugar para desconectarse y descansar. El administrador Nelson es un mago y esta pendiente en todo momento de la comodidad de los huespedes. El hotel necesita un poco más de cariño por parte de sus propietarios pues urge remodelar la mayoría de habitaciones y algunas zonas comunes que ya se ven destartaladas y anticuadas para el esplendor que representa esta propiedad.
