“El Establo's setting affords it stunning views, and the location near the Cloud Forest speaks to its eco-friendly focus. However, the steep terrain presents logistical challenges requiring reliance on shuttles. While the rooms could use some updating, the proximity to nature's beauty remains a compelling draw.”
