I loved the property. The facilities (pool, spa, garden, restaurant, room) were outstanding. I will return with my family. Only minor comment: properly is not for people with limited mobility as it has multiple hills and steps to get to the room and pool. Thanks a lot for great service.

Beautiful and peaceful place. Exactly what we need to relax. The personnel was the best. The food is good, the “empanadas de viento” is something I recommend everyone to try.

This is such a special place, it felt like a secret paradise. The service was impeccable; our room was clean and spacious. The food in the restaurant was quite good. The spa and pool were so relaxing, we never even made it to the thermal pools we'd come to Banos to see!

Gorgeous hotel and historic buildings with a fabulous spa. We booked a beautiful suite with fireplace we used and jacuzzi. Bed super large and cozy! Delicious meals at the restaurant with ample breakfast included. Staff so helpful and friendly. Close to Banos town in a short walk or cab ride. We toured 2 fantastic days with Ivan. He is just the best and well worth booking him for touring the area. His # 593 96-764-8033

The staff was great! The amenities were great! I own a maintenance company so it is an area they need to take a look at. Our Spa tub filled VERY slowly and drained even slower. The skylight about the toilet leaked during the rain in room 26. None of these issues would prevent me from going again and I would have stayed longer if I could. However, I have bad pollen allergies and something was bothering me since it is 300 years old and has no A/C I had to leave. LOVED our Stay!

Overall l, was a good stay at the property for my family and I. Some of the pros include the beautiful grounds, the pool and the awesome staff for breakfast and dinner! A few of the cons are that in our room the bathroom area was overrun with ants. The bed wasn’t all that comfy either, and on additional “nit” is that the front desk only allowed for two towels for our room…which was super inconvenient traveling with my spouse and 3 kids. I’m a consultant and have lived in hotels for a good chunk of my career and never experienced this anywhere else (from low tier holiday Inn’s to classier establishments like JW Marriot and Ritz. These small little things can make or break a trip so I hope someone in management reads this and updates their policies accordingly. On that note, even though we weren’t allowed extra towels the front desk staff was kind enough to find an extra rollaway bed for my oldest to sleep in

The rooms smelled awful and the restaurant customer service ruined our night. I checked out before my reservation ended to escape the smell even though I didn’t receive a refund for the remaining days of our suite. Stay away from this hotel, I would not recommend. They tried to give us two old rooms that smelled terrible before they showed us the newer room which still smelled, just not as much. We stopped at the restaurant for a quick snack and drink before needing to board our scheduled Chiva bus. After 35 minutes of waiting for our drinks we had to tell them we can’t wait for our drinks anymore and we paid for our food and left. 15 minutes later the waiter chased us down in the streets where we were waiting for our bus and argued with us saying that we have to come back and drink the drinks they still continued to make after we paid and left and that they charged us for them without our authorization.

Room was so dark , bathroom has cheapest shower head and no hot water coming. They have termite on the wood in the room and manager said it is normal. Worst part is they will over charge your account and then won’t refund it and will encourage you to buy wine bottles. As an international tourist we are not to pay any taxes but they still charge me and when we ask them to refund it they refused it and said get bottle of wine . Staff speaks no English and tourist valueable time is wasted in asking for minimum requirements. Even water bottle is charged. Talked with manager, owner wasted my precious time. They even ask you to cancel your booking if you have purchased it on Expedia or any other site so they don’t have to pay them but get business thru them . Cheap business practice.
