Top San Marcos Hotel Reviews

Entre Cerros

Entre Cerros

8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed our time at Entre Cerros. There were 7 of us in one cabin but with 2 bedrooms and a loft, there was plenty of room. The small kitchen was helpful. There was a coffeemaker and good coffee, although we really needed a larger water filter. Cookies were on the table when we arrived and firewood was placed beside the outdoor fire pit for our use. The restaurant was better than expected, both breakfast and dinner. Our waiter, Cesar, did a great job serving us and making it special. The landscaping is beautiful. The heated pool was great! Our biggest complaint was the roads getting to Entre Cerros was rough and difficult to find. But once you get there, it’s great!"
