Cesar was very knowledgeable about the frogs,snakes and other reptiles. Freddy and the other two guides on the sip lines were great. The lunch was also very good. Tubing down the river was great fun. Didn't stay there so I really can't rate the rooms.

We stayed here for 2 nights. The grounds are pretty and my kids enjoyed the pool. The food is not cheap and does not live up to the price. The staff is very nice and helpful. We stayed in a delux room and it was nice. The first day we hiked to a waterfall on their property. It was well... More

Hacienda Guachipelin is a very nice place, the gardens and surroundings are pretty. We stayed in a deluxe room and enjoyed it very much. The only negative point is that the restaurant doesn´t have a very good value for money, so I don´t recommend eating there. The hot springs and waterfalls are very nice.

We stayed only for a night. But the welcome cocktail, attention at front desk (Ana took a lot of time to explain everything to us) and lots of options you have to do for adventure were just great! We did canyoning and just loved it! They offer internal bus transfer to hot springs (very beautiful by the way), spa and... More

We stayed here one night in early April. The room was fine, but the mattress was really hard. We enjoyed all the activities including a horseback ride, waterfall, hot springs, tubing and zip lining. Very nice people and breakfast was great!

The hotel itself was okay. At first sight, our room was relatively bare, but clean, which is all we really wanted. Unfortunately, the key for the safe was lost, so we couldn't use it (which was important to us since it was the first day of our trip). After my husband took a quick shower, we realized that the water... More
