"Pros: Janette greeted us warmly on arrival, in slow, lilting Spanish that was easy to understand. The grounds include a yoga shala (that was shared with some curing wood), a fire pit area, a parking area, and a trail to an Ecological reserve with advanced level trails and waterfalls (3,000/pp, open 11-4). There was a shared kitchen with a microwave, hot plate, fridge and kettle. We were successful in scrambling some eggs but the hot plate wasn't strong enough to cook beans. Signage was mediocre, but we found the location with signs and GPS. Just keep going up the windy dirt road, once you turn into the ecolodge. There is something of a view through the trees, of the valley below. The stars were magnificent despite the full moon. The birds entertained us with their calls, we saw toucans and parrots and listened to their songs. We purchased coffee from the farm to take home.
Cons: This is somewhat spendy for a hostel. In the past, apparently breakfast was included but is no longer. The bed was particularly uncomfortable and the shower had only cold water (in the shared bath). The road was passable in my turbodiesel but an ordinary 4x2 should not attempt it. There are no trails onsite, only at the Ecological reserve, which are very advanced and you must pay to access. The cooking facilities were not functioning adequately to prepare anything but a warmed meal." ~Laura
