We loved the hike from the p property to Santa Cruz. also the steam room.
Beautifully terraced property with stunning views of the lake. Lots of nooks and crannies to explore to find a peaceful place to relax in the gardens. The staff was helpful, and the restaurant was good and offered enough variety for my 3 day stay.
Our experience at Hotel Café La Casa del Mundo was truly beautiful. The breathtaking views left us in awe, and the service was nothing short of excellent. The hotel’s perfect harmony with nature creates a serene and magical atmosphere that makes it unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, beauty, and exceptional hospitality!
Love this property .. it’s relaxing , quiet , good food ..amazing view .. staff are great ..
but the stairs makes my sore legs and knees more esp after all hiking and volcano trekking !
I enjoyed the view from my room I love everything about this hotel Casa del Mundo we had a server name Diego he was the best, I’ll definitely go back to this hotel
This hotel is one of a kind and in the most special, beautiful and individually unique way. Anyone that comes to this boutique hotel will be glad they did. It’s like nothing. One could imagine but yet you have to see it for yourself.
I fell in love with this property. It has the most amazing views and hammocks at your disposal. There’s so many amenities to enjoy and the food at the restaurant was amazing. Very convenient and the staff was my favorite part. They were very sweet and super helpful.
I would have giving a 5star review all around because it was just so beautiful. But i just did not like the fact that i asked to reserve the hot tub an was told it was book, mind you i didnt have a problem that it was booked my problem was that i went to check around the area that day an no one was using the hot tube. I was really disappointed because most the staff in the dining area an the ones you encountered were very nice .
Wow. This was the most beautiful properties I have ever seen. It is worth every penny. The staff works extremely hard to maintain the landscaping and making sure you can relax. Incredibly nice people. The only thing is you are a bit removed from any other restaurants or food options, but one day we walked to Santa Cruz and it was a beautiful walk and got to have lunch at CECAP.
Hola nunca escribo ningún comentario pero está vez creo que es necesario para que vayan preparados el lugar es fenomenal, el servicio super pero deben saber no hay AC , TV , secador plancha y aunque la temperatura es fresca adentro del cuarto es infernal no se si fue la que me toco a mi la habitación 15 solo para que sepan a que se enfrentan por lo demás la vista y el lugar valen la pena al menos ir por 2 noches para deleitarse con. El paisaje
The hotel is beautiful and the staff were more than amazing. The only thing we didn’t like how you still have to pay for every single amenity. The food was really good but also super super pricey.
Its a beautiful stay perched on top of hill. The views were spectacular. The staff were very friendly. Diego helped carry all the heavy luggage all the way to our room which was very nice.Food at restaurant was good.The only gripe was that the place had a power outage during our stay and we literally had no power all night. I understand things happen but would be nice to have generators to bring the power back right away for added convenience. I definitely would recommened this hotel for its spectacular views . Dont forgot to get your mosquito repelllent power bank .
