    John and his family are amazing hosts that made us fee so welcome from the minute we arrived. The view from the hilltop is amazing, im going to miss having my morning coffee overlooking the ocean while the resident parrot enjoys his breakfast at the next table. My only regret was not having dinner at the restaurant, the breakfast however was delicious.

    The view over the trees and down to the ocean waves are magic. Good food and drinks from the restaurant also with the view. A laid back and nice atmosphere where the owner that build the place also lives and work with his family. A grumpy female cat also made the time exiting, to be taped ore not 😇😊

    Nothing to mention here.

    A hidden gem with the nicest staff, amazing food and drinks in calm, relaxed and beautiful surroundings. We could watch whales and tons of butterflies from our terrace, enjoyed the same great view from our hammocks and my husband was excited by the waves he surfed. Cannot recommend this place enough!

    Ceiling fan chain was short or inop. Road going up hill could be a challenge on rainy days for some small cars but is negotiable in low gear.

    Great location with mountain view to sea view. Great staff, very friendly and outstanding dinning, every plate of food was prepared exceptionally well, very delicious! Rooms are reasonably priced for area and provide your basic amenities. Be sure to seek a room with air conditioner as not all rooms have A/C.

    We were close to the source of the hot water heater so our hot water was exceptionally hot, once we figured out the trick of showering it was fine.

    Beautiful people, location, food, craftsmanship and artistic flare within the landscaping and construction

    We had the most amazing stay at Hotel Kambutaleko. The staff is beyond friendly, the room clean and the food very delicious (especially the tarta de chocolate was our childrens favorite☺️ Thanks again for the special treat at our departure.) The beach is just a short walk away and good to manage. I can't find enough good words for this very special place.

    the rooms were slightly small, but considering you spend your days out-of-doors, who cares!

    We loved everything about staying at Kambutaleko!! the view overlooking the Pacific, the hamacs next to our rooms, the delicious breakfasts and dinners, and drinks 😉. And of course the warm welcome and every day attentions of Jon and his team (including the old cat). A big thank you from Luca, Sylvie and the girls

    Location is a pretty big hike up a mountain - takes an in-shape coloradoan about 6 minutes.

    I know the property can’t help it, but we got a lot of bites. I expected mosquitoes, but these were not mosquitoes—more like no-see-ums.

    Staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant on site is excellent.
