While some reviewers highlight that the rooms aren't Ritz-Carlton quality, I think it is important to note that the prices certainly reflect that, and the hotel offers tremendous value for an authentic and relaxing stay. ##### Jack Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Delaine Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Beautiful place! Friendly staff! Great breakfast! Only thing rooms don’t have ac , have mold smells like basement and if you need to open windows no screens so bugs fly in. ##### Delaine Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### victor Nov 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities There is so much to do in this property! Definitely recommend for the stay and the pool but they have a coffee tour, they have a 9k hike with really cool view points, and more! ##### victor Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### David May 27, 2025 Liked: Staff & service The place was very clean but, aged. Food was very good. NO A/C or HEAT! NO TV! We stayed in the main building. ##### David Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nat Sep 10, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Nat Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael Jan 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The only reason I’m giving a 4 star is because they charged 10$ to use a bath room put in your room. Everything else was great. Food, staff,location ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Feb 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 : ) ##### John Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Qituwrah Mar 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Qituwrah Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hillary Sep 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Hillary Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Apr 9, 2024 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. ##### Catherine Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Winnie Feb 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Winnie Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### ted Aug 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We stayed in Atico suite. No doorknob, no bathroom door. no screens or AC, but not really needed. Beautiful grounds. Incredible views I use a cane and I had to really take it slow. but was able to make it around. ##### ted Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn Jan 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a lovely place to stay. Quiet, beautiful location close to San Jose. The room we stayed in was grand with beautiful antique furniture and large windows overlooking the spacious grounds and city below. Internet was great! Breakfast was served on a gorgeous patio, was delicious with wonderful coffee served by excellent, friendly staff. Exceeded our expectations. There was one big miss for me. There were no fans and the wondows had no screens. Therefore, we had no way to move the air. The bed was comfortable, but I was hot, so I did not sleep well. We dis request a fan, but there were none to be had. I strongly recommend this hotel gets a few fans for the guests like us, who really need them. ##### Dawn Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriela Oct 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Breakfast is amazing !!! And the staff and security are so helpful and wonderful!! Very knowledged on the property as well, just make sure you have bug repellent before going to your room, a lot of insects but with the repellent it wasn’t bad. Also no tvs no microwave and no fan or AC just be mindful about this. It is the ultimate getaway for sure for peace and quiet. But the bar el gato on the property is soooo cute and the drinks are delicious, see Yahaira the bartender she was so great!!! Also Daniela and Gabriela from reception are so knowledgeable and sweet! They really cater to you , Alvaro the security guard made sure we were super safe. Overall 5 stars ! ##### Gabriela Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Roberto Sep 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great quite place ##### Roberto Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mauricio Aug 9, 2025 Very nice breakfast. ##### Mauricio Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### William Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Someone with money really needs to take over and upgrade the interior of the property and add dehumidifiers to each room it smelled very moldy and a lot of bugs in the room but the property itself is absolutely beautiful ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cc1c1fa0-50b5-4789-8f87-b0b01862439e-1760359630707.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9896f930-bd35-401f-afb4-c51a507af124-1760359630187.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a553b2e8-2bd4-4733-8c03-202b7d1105af-1760359630206.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### William Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen Beecher Feb 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was one of our favorite vacations ever and it’s all because of this wonderful hidden gem of an oasis. ##### Stephen Beecher Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca Jan 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful and quiet ##### Rebecca Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Blanca Estela Sep 25, 2025 The recepcionist didnt give me enough information to enjoy the place or even to find the place to eat. They charge for everything like the translation from the hotel to the restaurant that is not walkable and is part of the hacienda. A lot of ants in the roll. No door in the bathroom ##### Blanca Estela Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DEREK Apr 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Initial arrival at the property was such a weight off my shoulders. The general atmosphere and ambiance is warm and welcoming with nature blooming in every direction. Check in was simple and the receptionist was courteous enough to show me the grounds. The panoramic room was amazing! Everything you need, from dining to adventures & trails, are right on the grounds. Overall it was a great stay and i’m certain i’ll stay again during my next visit to the country! ##### DEREK Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicolas III Aug 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ![Library](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9992de5f-fe97-4a3e-ad37-16fea9bad1a4-1755802155194.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![“Dark room” lol](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8417ffe7-ff5b-4291-9c05-671b4e2c2c8b-1755802150906.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Pool](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/26185fa8-2c25-4b4b-afb9-8a8d0542f3ae-1755802156137.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from the pool](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a0184f94-1281-4d71-9482-b01ad108629f-1755802138611.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nicolas III Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yuberki Nov 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The property is very unique. We had a room facing the city and is a breathtaking view. The weather is perfect up there : chilly enough to sleep at night and warm enough to enjoy the pool during the day. The staff is great, the restaurant , and the free breakfast is delicious. ##### Yuberki Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Faramarz Feb 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The atmosphere and the vibe of the area was beautiful and stunning.

The lounging or sitting room had display of pictures from railroad history , various pottery and art . To explore the area bring your walking shoes the area is incline or hilly.
