My stay at the lodge was very tranquil and peaceful. Ana was very accommodating to anything I needed as a guest in her home and I enjoyed our time together. I was asked to do many jobs in any way I could help the community and I was glad to do it! Definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for place to enjoy nature and peace. Thanks for everything Ana!

The experience was nice overall and the little towns are cute but there's not much really happening. It's good to disconnect from big cities and tourists and connect with nature. Great for biking around. Don't hesitate to contact me for further details.

Thank you Javier for the review, thank you for the recipes you made in our house, they were good times. I am very sorry not to practice English, it was difficult for me, and seeing that there were other tasks at home.... Many kisses and I hope we stay in touch

Mi estadía en the lodge sin lugar a dudas me gustó mucho, desde el principio Ana, Eder, Elene, Soula y el peque Amets me recibieron súper bien, me hicieron sentir como en mi casa, realmente los aprecio mucho y tendrán siempre mi amistad, mi cariño y respeto. the lodge es perfecto si querés estar en contacto con la naturaleza, sumergirte en la cultura e idioma local y conocer pueblos cercanos, cerros y paisajes hermosos. Sin dudas recomiendo esta experiencia. Aah! Y el trabajo no es pesado, es solo ponerle empeño y dedicación.

Sula es un fenómeno, comprometido y trabajador, siempre dispuesto a ayudar.
