El hotel es muy agradable y permite un fácil acceso a Hacienda La Chimba, para realizar caminata en sendero de montaña y otras actividades. Me hubiese gustado que en el hotel tuviesen mayor flexibilidad con la hora de salida, para aprovechar más el tiempo en Hacienda La Chimba.

The road to the hotel is super steep. I prayed while driving up that my car wouldnt roll back. Besides that if you are looking to be fully unplugged then this is for you. My room had no tv or refrigerator. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The overall setting is a little dated but okay. The restaurant has decent food however the free breakfast begins at 8am which seemed late to me. Alot of insects. You truly hear nature in the morning as well. The view over looking the valley is absolutely priceless.

Quite a scary drive, we decided to uber for dinner instead of driving as the road up is narrow. It is a beautiful property with a beautiful pool. We stayed at Manzana de Agua, and it was beautifully decorated. A dog barked and barked from 0330 to 0430 AM and again around 0700, echoing into the room. I brought it up to the front desk lady and she said there are no dogs on the property. I recorded how loud it was, and the recording definitely showed that the dog was near the room and it echoed around.

This will be my new "go to" when I'm in the area. It's a 10 minute drive to Santa Ana but nestled in the mountains below a coffee farm. It's super quiet, peaceful, and beautifully decorated. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The price is right and could not have asked for a better stay! It would be 10 stars if that was an option : )

This property is so so beautiful. You’re completely surrounded by lush plants and trees and just submerged in nature. The rooms are so cute, comfortable and have an open nature feel. I stayed in the mango, luxury room which is perfect for a couple or solo traveler. They have breakfast and dinner available on site to order. During the day you obviously have to go off site to hydrate and eat. Housekeeping was nice to keep your room nice and tidy. The staff was nice and patient if you do not speak the language. I would highly recommend staying here.

There are many bugs that come into your room at night and in front of your hotel room, they had to leave me RAID spray for the remainder of my stay. The staff is barely present to help with inquiries. The pool and the fountain were very dirty I couldn’t even get in. The bathtub was also dirty, I had to clean it myself. Barely switched out towels. Only good thing was the breakfast and the dinner, as well as the staff who worked at the restaurants provided. Also, nothing is refundable, even if you try to leave before your checkout date so make sure you book accordingly.

Loads of character! Set in the rainforest above a coffee plantation and decorated with unique vintage furniture, this hotel exudes a rustic luxury that gives one the feel of what it must have been like to live in the plantation owner’s house at the turn of the 20th century. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I loved the coffee tour and the claw footed tub with the view out of the round window! The view down to San Jose at night was also spectacular.

I would stay at Don Ernesto again for vacation next time. The staff are friendly, greeted us every time they see us. Asked if we are good. We mostly stayed out because we were on business travel. The view from the balcony is stunning. Our room is beautiful, to my taste. Over all our experience is great!

I loved the pool and the yoga platform above it with the Buddha ! Very peaceful and lots if attention to details that made it beautiful! Lots of love went into the place. Loved the hiking in the coffee plantation on the mantra trail and even the hike up and down the hill to La burra restaurant. Tho you can get a little shuttle down and up. Staff super friendly and welcoming.

Ningún cuarto tenía aire acondicionado, abanicó, y para colmo las puertas no tenía protección para que no entrara insectos ya que avía que dejarlas abiertas para que entrara un poco de aire, el baño no tenía puerta y los muebles de la habitación (ático ) estaban rotos. No obstante ah eso hay que caminar como 4 min llegar al hotel ya que tienes que pagar para que te suban en un carrito. Pienso que eso debería de estar incluido en el monto total. Una experiencia HORRIBLEEEEEE. No lo recomiendo para NADA
