Stunning location, tranquil, views, nature.
The location is ideal...just on the outskirts of Manizales. Taxi drivers knew the location. Low fare to get there. Balconies with super comfy seating surrounds the hotel with incredible views. Many, many birds to see up close. Rooms with views that are clean, comfortable bed, hot shower, decent breakfast, and awesome staff. It was easy to explore the city from this location; we could catch a bus right at the end of the road, really nearby. We bussed to Chipre for the exceptional views of the volcanoes. From there we walked the main avenue and eventually taxied to a thermal springs. You won’t be disappointed with this peaceful location.

Immersion in Colombian mountain forests
Ecohotel Juanita has an unparalleled view of coffee farms and magnificent vistas of mountains that extend out to a hazy horizon. No, I'm not being overly descriptive. It is one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen in my entire life, and I grew up in Hawaii. A tropical bird slept in the planter that hung outside our window, and there's a short forest trail from the hotel's steep staircase that will lead past plants and clear-winged butterflies. When you eat breakfast on the balcony, colorful birds visit the feeder to eat any fruit left there as others soar off into the distance. After breakfast, we walked down the dirt road to tour a coffee finca, led by the owner who has lived there for decades. I don't review most of the hotels I stay at, but I had to review Ecohotel Juanita. Don't get me wrong, this is not a luxury resort like those in Dubai or Las Vegas. But if you are looking for immersion in nature with simple, kind service, this is it.

Beware!! The photos are not a true representation!
The "natural pool" looked amazing in the photos! Not so much, unless you like swimming with live tadpoles! You couldn't see deeper than the first step! My daughter was extremely disappointed! Don't bother booking the "suite". The regular rooms were larger and nicer. The upgrade was only a jacuzzi tub I was scared to sit in! We were even without a t.v. the first night. Cleanliness was below average even for a finca. Workers were attentive and welcoming, but female manager (owner?) was defensive. We politely addressed our concerns at checkout but she was more concerned with charging us for the "extra person" that wasn't on the original reservation. She wouldn't even "trade" that cost for the pool condition or the missing t.v. We explained we were buying property just down the road and would regularly need accommodations for friends and family, but our repeat business was not a concern. Positives were quiet and nice view. Our guests will be passing this hotel to stay elsewhere. May have been a nice place before (when photos were taken), but is run down now!! Wish I had taken my own pictures to share!

A little paradise away a few minutes from the city
You have to remember that this is an Ecohotel, so some of the facilities are very basic. But the place is clean, comfortable, economic and, most importantly, a quiet paradise in the mountains with some of the most beautiful views. Excellent!

Amazing views!
A piece of paradise only a few minutes away from the city, with easy access by public transportation. Amazing views of the mountains from your room and everywhere else in the hotel. You can even do the private trails within the hotel. Excellent, friendly staff. Good breakfast. Excellent price. Very peaceful and quite.

Tranquil locale
For the money it was perfect. Beautiful location outside of town. The bus to town was easy and cheap. Manizales can get a tiny bit dicey late at night, and the hotel was much safer than some of the comparable hotels in town. The staff were very nice. My room was a tiny bit musty, but everything else was very nice. I can easily recommend this place.

Cost effective & Green: The best of both worlds.
Kudos to the staff for not just having a green-friendly hotel, but also being informed about environmental activities in the area. If one wants to experience anything related to the environment in this region of Colombia, the staff/owners of this hotel can VERY easily point one in the right direction! I also liked the central location on a popular bus route as well as breakfast.

Nice place to stay near Manizales
We had a great experience at this hotel. It is a beautiful traditional Colombian house ran by the owners, who are really nice people. The hotel is located outside Manizales but in a very convenient location, just 10 to 15 min drive from Manizales city center. Thus you get everything, a traditional house in a very tranquil and green area and also proximity to the city. The view from the terrace was amazing. You could sit there forever on a hamac looking at the mountains. Breakfast was great: traditional chocolate with arepa and eggs. The rooms were basic but clean. I highly recommend this place.

La habitación que me ofrecieron tenia un HEDOR terrible a humedad ademas de que se le estaba cayendo la pintura a las paredes, no se si solamente era esa habitación en particular o si todas las habitaciones tienen ese olor tan desagradable. El letrero que tienen para indicar la ubicación del hotel esta cubierto por pasto por lo que no se ve.

El lugar es bonito y agradable pero en su página web deben ponee bien claro que hay que llevar comida, pedirla a domicilio o ir a la ciudad a comer. Además tienen un salón de fiestas que alquilan. Deberían avisar al huésped para que elija si quiere "descansar" con el ruido de una fiesta todo el día.

Es war schön , schlicht und einfach aber in einer tollen Lage, man steht auf, und hat eine wunderschöne Aussicht aus der Terrasse & die Colibris sind einem ganz nah. Abends kann man gemütlich auf der Terrasse ein Wein trinken und auf die Cikaden im Wald horschen. Man darf darunter kein Luxus erwarten, einfaches aber dafür sehr freundliches &familiäres Personal. Würden gerne auch wieder das gleiche Hotel besuchen :-).
