Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

8/10 Good
"The food was excellent. The staff were very helpful. In our first night, we were brought to old rooms with unpleasant smell and upstairs were creating noise. I went the following day and talked to the manager. Jason was very understanding and moved us to the room that was advertised. It was very nice and my daughter and I were able to sleep unlike the first old room. I found out that it’s actually Expedia who sometimes tricks you, so be careful when booking. The manager guy and supervisor lady in the restaurant were exceptional. She gave me and my daughter some breakfast even after 10am, end of free breakfast. I will come back for sure to this place!"

Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"The overall set up of the building was very cool. Loved how the rooms were set apart from the main area, in our case, through an outdoor walkway. And what a great common area inside and outside on the deck! The deck overlooked the countryside. The breakfast options provided were wonderful and we felt well taken care of. The decor of the building and rooms was truly unique, loved the white stucco, open beams and coloured glass bead designs! Very comfortable, clean and accommodating stay."
