"Trogon was one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The property and the location was priceless. The staff was fantastic and always willing to help. The cabins were clean and cozy and with the weather it will probably the best sleep you will ever have. The Food is very good plus there are a few other very good options within a couple of KM's. The bar/lounge was amazing and a Mojito is a must..."

Yuli Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente hotel! Las habitaciones son muy lindas y cómodas, la piscina es amplia y perfecta para relajarse, y la comida del restaurante del hotel es simplemente deliciosa. También cuentan con una zona de cocina compartida, ideal para quienes prefieren preparar su propia comida. Además, la ubicación es ideal, está a solo 5 minutos caminando del Parque Nacional Marino Ballena, y también hay varios restaurantes y supermercados cerca. Sin duda volvería!"

Bahia Selvatica Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Emanuel went out of his way to help us in a jam! We had a reservation at an Airbnb that turned out to be a dump, it was late, he got us in a room, helped with our bags. We ended up staying for a week. I have never stayed in a cleaner hotel! All the staff was wonderful, very friendly and helpful. Pools were great and loved that there was a bar. Easy walk to the beach. Restaurants and grocery stores on the same street, walking distance. Highly recommend this hotel. "

Trogon Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"A truly beautiful place, well laid out in a mountain valley. The atmosphere is welcoming and the restaurant is excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only minor suggestion for improvement would be to install Wi-Fi extenders to all the rooms. Our room was towards the back of the property and we lost the signal just before reaching it."
