“Peaceful Island vibes”
I loved this property. The location was beautiful and it was so nice being surrounded by nature. The whole place had a really relaxed, chilled atmosphere which made it easy to switch off and enjoy the experience. The food was delicious, and all of the tours and activities were really good. My favourite part was definitely the chocolate tour – I had a great time and would stay here again

“Stunning Setting, but not the experience we expected”
The location is a 10/10, the cacao tour is a 10/10, and the kindness of the staff is also a 10/10. Unfortunately, our overall experience was affected by a few important issues.

“Definitely upgrade to the deluxe dorm, it’s so worth it.”
I loved the balcony in the duluxe dorm, and the beds were very comfortable. The view is also beautiful and you can swim in the lake.

Beautiful and magic little oasis. It was an experience in itself just to stay at El Pital, and we made sure also to have enough time to just enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The rooms were beautiful and the dorms with sea view was the best dorm room I have ever stayed at. We participated in the cacao ceremoni and some yoga classes which I can highly recommend for a more spiritual experience. The staff were very friendly!
