Hotel Rivel - Restaurant & Nature Retreat

Our family of 3 (with a 21 month old toddler) stayed here at their Sky Dome for 6 nights and what an incredible experience it was. The location of the hotel is absolutely incredible - a paradise to say the least. To get there, do not follow Google maps all the way as it is inaccurate. When you are on your way, you will see a sign from the hotel and if you follow it, you will reach the hotel in 3/3.5 km's. It's a bit of an off-road path, but you do not need a 4wd like some comment suggests. The communication was amazing prior to our arrival and continued the whole time despite the fact that we did not speak Spanish and some of them had limited English. This is not to take away from the fact that, the people who worked there are absolute gems. Everyone is kind and helpful and will go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable and are at home. We were the only visitors when we arrived at the hotel and most of the days - so we enjoyed all the attention catered to us in the tranquility of the nature. The food that were cooked for us in the restaurant was amazing. Joseph (hope I'm spelling it correctly), cooked the best food when we were there. Absolutely enjoyed all the meals there and probably gained few kilo's too! The fresh juices were amazing and we never skipped it during our lunch or dinner. We did few walks here and there and enjoyed an amazing nature out there. There are so many birds, insects and plants to see. We saw toucans, many humming birds which actually fly next to you during your breakfast in the balcony, frogs and what not. Also got to witness the absolute beauty of snowcapped hummingbird which is a rare sight to see. They also grow their own coffee which tasted so good so bought couple of bags of coffee as a souvenir to take home The natural swimming pool with the waterfall is gorgeous and our son loved swimming in it.

Beautiful room at sky dome, but it's a tent so regulating temperature is a bit tricky. You can see some mold have started appearing since it can be damp inside and a small ventilation fan isn't enough. The room also didn't have any sort of mosquito or insect net which could have been handy especially when the toilet is outside. You have to be very careful to switch off the light to go out so that the insects/mosquitoes won't go inside the tent. There is not much to do except being in the nature but that's what you are there for I guess. There are no walking trails close by that goes more than few hundred meters. We found one trail 700 meters before the reception gate that leads to the other side of the river but it felt like we would end up nowhere so ended up returning after few km's. We ended up taking our car to Ujarras ruins one time.

Tolle Lage und schön abgelegen, fantastisches Essen, sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter. Alles super.

Work-in-progress: neue Jungle trails - trail map notwendig :-)

Excelente lugar y servicio

La habitación, el paisaje y servicio

Todo perfecto!

La atención del personal excelente

El domo tenía varios inconvenientes Las luces no servían La ducha no calentó Y el internet se desconectaba mucho

Sin duda alguna es un tesoro escondido en la montaña. Es el lugar perfecto para descansar, desconectar y salir completamente de la rutina. El servicio al cliente es excepcional y la comida del restaurante sin duda alguna me hace querer volver una y otra vez!

La tranquilidad, la atención excelente y los muchachos muy atentos, espero volver pronto.

El café, me faltó una cortina en la habitacion.
