“Amazing lodge with amazing host and amazing view right at the border of the national park”

The best

-amazing spot right at the border of the national park - the super amazing view from the logge - super nice host Alison and Alexis - the tent in the pool ist a very interesting accomodation with a lot of private space - all the cute cats and digs, especially Mr Sunday, the cutest dog ever - two shared kitchens to use which are good equipped - free tea and coffee - etc etc. etc.

Both following points were no problem for us at all but might be challenging for some people: - If you have a car: you can not park your car right at the lodge. You can park it at a public car park, which is safe. And than you have to walk the last 900 m with 60 m in height, but you can arrange a transfer by the host from the car park to the lodge - if you have no car (like us): shopping for food is not so easy. It is a 5 km hike one way to the next supermarkt (Lidl in Los Llanos) or 4 km from the car park if you use transfer

“Unforgettable place”

The best

The host, Alison, puts her whole heart in running and developing this place. Staying here is a truly unique experience. The photos do paint a kind of accurate picture, but it's nothing compared to the feeling of being present there, surrounded by those green mountains, relaxing in that complete calm and quiet atmosphere. The two of us reserved a private room in the 2-room guesthouse: it had a super comfortable bed (I honestly didn't expect it to be so good :)), and Alison's paintings on the wall added to the nice atmosphere. We loved waking up to the sight of the lush green forest in front of one of the windows and being able to peek around and see if we can spot some of the cute cats and dogs. As we came for mostly hiking on the island, it was important to us to be able to put our sandwich ingredients in a fridge - the solution here is perfect for that, there is a huge shared fridge in the hostel building where guests can put their name on a personal box. It's great how solar power is enough to provide sufficient energy for all the basic needs here.

Maybe it was just me or just that occasion, but the water wasn't hot enough for thorough dishwashing.

I had the most amazing magical time at the lodge. Alison is the kindest soul, I met the kindest people there, the place and it’s location are most magical in the mountains under the stars and I loved all the cute dogs and cats around.

“Amazing lodge in the national park with superfriendly hosts”

The best

- Amazing location of the hostel right in the national park - super friendly host - nice 5 bed dorm - double rooms have a private kitchen and toilet only shared by the 2 double rooms. But double rooms can also use the shared kitchens of the dorm and the hostel public rooms - the pool - all the cute cats and dogs. Especialy Mr Sunday, the cutest dog ever.

Was no problem for us but might be one for someone: - if you have a car you can not park at the lodge. You have to hike 900 m to the lodge from the carpark. The hike is medium in difficulty. But the host is offering transfer to the car park if arranged 24 hours in advance - if you have no car you have to hike to the lodge. The closest bus stop and supermarket in Los Llanos is 4.8 km away by feet (250 m elevation gain).
