Beautiful place to stay! Comfortable and the staff were all friendly. The only problem was the dogs barking for hours on end. They were likely the neighbors packs of dogs but could still be heard quite loudly which was annoying. The last night the sweet little dog at the hotel started in with them around 3:30 am waking us up.

Poor maintenance of facility -in disrepair and dirty Towels were filthy and torn with stains No housekeeping service was provided during our stay; After two days, we were informed via WhatsApp that service had to be requested. On our last day, we lifted the bedding and found wads of hair that did not belong to us, which was unhygienic and unacceptable Dining experience: food was inconsistent--sometimes overcooked and sometimes raw No on-site manager. Staff very young and eager but not supervised

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff at Palo Alto Glamping was absolutely amazing. I was welcomed with smiling face and warm hearts from the moment I checked in. The staff is extremely accommodating. The bartender Anthony makes the most amazing craft cocktails and provided excellent services. The concierge was able to assist with booking horseback riding and a private tour of a waterfall. The chocolate scrub and massage that I received was amazing as well. The domes were huge with comfy beds, great a/c, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom provided an amazing tropical experience while showering with the beautiful plants hanging over head. Last but not least the food was 5 star worthy. The chef makes the most amazing dishes that are extremely affordable.
