Cordillera Arriba Hotels

"I LOVED this hotel BUT we never saw a single staff member in our 2 night stay. Check in and check out was done virtually. Upload all your information and they will send you your unit and code. Unfortunately with travelling I missed that info. It did say they had check in during regular hours so I didn’t worry about anything. Until we are sitting in the lot in the rain trying to upload and fill out forms on my phone. Response wasn’t immediate. I tried calling the number a couple times and no answer. Emailed and messaged via Expedia numerous times . We actually walked next door to Destino restaurant and enjoyed a fabulous dinner while we waited for their «virtual agent» to respond. Once in the room we were happy with the cabin. Beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting. Out of town enough to feel peaceful. Was a little disappointed with the «hottie» as it was actually a jacuzzi tub on the deck that you have to fill with water. It was chilly and so didn’t use it because I didn’t want to wait to fill it. So I would consider staying there again and would give a better rating if we could deal with real people. I didn’t book any tours with them either because it was all with a QR code online. There wasn’t enough effort on their part to warrant the extra business so went into town and booked at a tour company in person! Side note…if you do choose to stay, eat next door at Destino. Great food and drinks. Great service! Lovely staff! REAL PEOPLE!"

"The residence was very nice and well set up. No issues. Communication with the host was disappointing. If customer service is important, this may not be the place. If it is of no concern to you, the spot is very nice."

"The room was absolutely lovely and restful. The hotel is very very nice and had a warm and relaxing feel to it. Old world elegance is the term I would use. We had breakfast and dinner at the Tach restaurant. The breakfast was very good with a varieties of choices and very farm to table. The dinner was excellent. Staff always friendly and attentive. The bar is especially charming and made a mean whisky sour. Loved the fireplaces for a cosy nightcap. All in all, a very pleasant stay. The only recommendation? Perhaps be the first luxury hotel to offer excellent decaf coffee. "

"Checkin was difficult and everyone seemed to be having the same problem and would take between 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on the guest"

"Spotless room, crisp clean linens, open window wish fresh air, soundproof. "

"It’s family friendly hotel "

"Good property. Only downside is it does not include breakfast even though there is restaurant on the property apparently owned by same owners. Location is fantastic and convenient. "

"Every single thing here was perfect. Our private room was lovely, food was amazing and well prepared, the grounds and common areas were meticulously maintained and beautiful and every single member of the Bambuda team was exceptional. I would return to Bowuete just to stay here again!"

"Beautiful grounds and landscaping, fresh and fragrant mountain air hits you immediately upon arrival. Room was spacious with comfortable beds. Only thing lacking was the hospitality of the reception desk staff."
