"Hôtel à une dizaine de minutes de taxi de la gare de bus, et à une vingtaine de minutes du centre ville à pied. Situé sur le bord de la route donc les chambres qui donner à ce côté ont beaucoup de bruit. Chambres amples et propres. Le restaurant était correct et il y a un autre café et des restaurants d’hamburgers à côté. Le gens de la réception très compétents et sympathiques. Ils proposent des activités plein air à faire avec des entreprises du secteur et ils peuvent faciliter le tout. Les prix sont compétitifs."

"Perfect weekend getaway - staycation. If what you are looking for is an all amenities, active, accessible, stay- this is not for you. If what you want is a quiet, peaceful, nature, serenity feel- then this is it! Keep in mind that they are under renovation, but other than that it was perfect. Juan, the property manager was great to communicate with! He was very transparent about the renovations, etc., but accommodated us also given that I made the reservation the night before. He arranged pick up at the airport for us which was very helpful because it is far from Bucaramanga. The staff were onsite limited amount of time- so do not rely on site entertainment. But breakfast was brought to our room each morning and was delicious and dinner was also very tasty (and so were their cocktails). Unforgettable scenery, friendly dogs on the property, which also made us feel secure. During the day we did a walk around in the locals were really friendly and even share some beer with us. Since the staff are their limited hours, there is a little at home store down the street. He was a perfect way to relax and get away from life’s busy schedule. I highly recommend to get tours to San Gil and Barichara and many will pick you up at the lodge. Lastly I recommend to schedule a massage! Juan helped us schedule and the massage therapist had a great set up and was very relaxing"
