8/10 Good
"La habitación e instalaciones muy limpias, parece que la construcción es nueva. El personal es muy atento, la comida del restaurante con excelente relación calidad/precio en la cena. La habitación es muy pequeña al igual que la cama, pero el baño es amplio. Destaco el restaurante, la piscina y la ubicación cercana a los parques"

8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed our time at Entre Cerros. There were 7 of us in one cabin but with 2 bedrooms and a loft, there was plenty of room. The small kitchen was helpful. There was a coffeemaker and good coffee, although we really needed a larger water filter. Cookies were on the table when we arrived and firewood was placed beside the outdoor fire pit for our use. The restaurant was better than expected, both breakfast and dinner. Our waiter, Cesar, did a great job serving us and making it special. The landscaping is beautiful. The heated pool was great! Our biggest complaint was the roads getting to Entre Cerros was rough and difficult to find. But once you get there, it’s great!"
