Very friendly staff and place is beautiful. It is close to various spots with beautiful nature. Cons: restaurant is overpriced, and be prepared to pay huge taxes on top of what you think you are going to pay. If you are Colombian and you book online, they will tell you that you need to pay a national tax. In my case, it was about 170 USD for a 4 day stay. If you have a foreign passport, male sure to bring it so you get exempt for paying this tax.
