Beautiful spot, high up on the hills above Santa Terresa but we wouldn't come back. Its at the top of the steepest and most difficult hill I've ever driven up. I'm an very experienced driver, used to driving in Mexico, Greece and Costa Rico, but I didn't want to drive up and down those hills particularly at night. It becomes a constant worry when you go into town so you end up being "trapped" in he place. There's also no way of walking to the place. You really do need a 4 wheel drive or ATV to get here. The property is interesting but needs a lot of maintenance, its a few years old and showing signs of wear and tear from the tough environment. You do get to see lots of wildlife being at tree level, we had a pool which was "watering hole" for the local Racoon and Coatimundi population, which was great. One thing that does need to be changed is the stocking of the refrigerator. If a place has a full kitchen in the unit which ours did, it shouldn't be filled with "stuff" you are trying to sell to your guests ! For the $800 per night cost it would be nice to provide free bottled water everyday. I know there's a filtration system for the tap water but guests don't know how well that's maintained, not worth the risk. We did enjoy seeing the place and the wildlife, it just needs some work to justify the cost.
