What guests think
At El Establo Mountain Hotel, guests consistently highlight breathtaking valley and sunset views, abundant wildlife, and a vast hillside property with on‑site trails, night tours, zip‑lines, a pool, spa, and gym.
The steep layout and shuttle dependence can mean waits, long walks, and no elevators in some buildings. Rooms often deliver generous space and striking views, but several reviews cite dated furnishings, dim lighting, thin walls, limited climate control, and unreliable in‑room Wi‑Fi or hot water. Service is frequently friendly and helpful, yet problem resolution, tour or credit handling, and restaurant speed or pricing vary. Expect stunning scenery and robust amenities, with comfort and service that may be uneven.
