Es un excelente punto para ir a descansar en pareja, y hacer rutas donde vimos hongos preciosos, flora y el río bellísimo. Además cerca hay restaurantes y viveros muy buenos. En la habitación, tal vez lo que hace falta son más alfombras o una grande. Otra cosa importante para los turistas es si hay adultos mayores o alguna discapacidad que pidan hospedaje cerca de la recepción.

Dantica Cloud Forest Lodge is truly a special place. The cabins sit along the edge of the cloud forest, with sweeping views that bring nature right to your rooms, making everything feel alive and immersive. The hiking trails are rigorous yet rewarding, beautiful, quiet, and perfect for spotting rare birds and wildlife you don’t often see elsewhere. By day, the scenery is lush and vibrant; at night, the peaceful darkness settles in and feels wonderfully remote. If there’s one opportunity to improve, it would be the dinner service in the restaurant - on certain evenings, the wait can be quite long, though the food itself is excellent once it arrives. Overall, a memorable blend of comfort, serenity, and unforgettable nature.

2nd time in this place. It was way better! We were lucky to book on a lonely weekend so we were upgraded for free! We enjoyed a superb bungalow with so many cool gadgets and surroundings. This time we had the chance to walk through the trails and had a great time getting to know the property. Totally recommended!
