10 of us spent 2 nights here during a tour through Colombia. The rooms were very nice, the food at the restaurant was good and the beer was cheap. The grounds are lovely with a large pond and a another little wet area near the community center. What we really liked was the setting along a small stream. The hotel... More

I client who wanted to show me the best places of Manizales took me here for lunc. I was very impressed by the entrance of the hotel and there is no doubt the surroundings are beautiful. It’s a very relaxing hotel with a typical view of the coffee farms from the coffee area in Colombia (Quindio, Caldas, Risaralda). I was... More

This hotel is in the outbound of Manizales but withing a short cab ride to the very downtown. It is special for nature lovers, peace seekers and in general for people not in the party mood. Hotel is a peaceful place surrounded by a natural park so have your trekking shoes ready to walk on the different trails there are... More

This is a great choice for nature lovers like us. You will need to take an easy bus or taxi into town from here. But we didn't care because it's prettier here than in town and all activities (trips to Los Nevados, etc) can be easily arrqnged from here. Desk staff, particularly Orlando who speaks English, but also Wilson who... More

This hotel is certainly worth a visit, we especially enjoyed the nice environment but particularly were enchanted by the medicinal gardens (ask for Camillo to guide), the butterfly nursery, the orchideas in the wild, the small zoological garden with recued animals! In short, a visit worthwile for a short or longer break

The facilities themselves are austere but we didn't find this offputting since the setting on the nature reserve is quite spectacular and is a must-see for visitors to coffee country. Rooms are small, but modern, efficient and quiet and everything works. Breakfasts are excellent but the dining room is dismal for dinner. The staff is exceedingly friendly and helpful and... More

I have stayed at several hotels in Manizales and paid over $150.00 USD per night. But none have compared to my experience at the Recinto del Pensamiento.
