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

I just spent a week at this lovely jewel of a resort in the small town of Manizales in central Colombia. I was there with a friend who I had met in grad school, and she invitied me to travel with her in Colombia for a month. We have stayed at a number of hotels, eco-resorts, small town pensions, but...

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

It hs a great tour internally, an orquid and incredible sightseeing! Hardly recommended

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. I would have gladly of paid $150.00USD per night but there was no need to do so. I booked the first night with my flight at only $40.00USD. Each night thereafter was only... More

My wife and I just stayed at the Estelar this weekend past. The hotel is located in an ecopark in beautiful mountain surroundings that covers many hectares. It is very scenic and has many sights for the guests to enjoy. Some of the things we, unfortunately, were unable to visit because it was raining quite hard while we were staying... More
