A wonderful and magical place. We absolutely loved it.
We really enjoyed our stay at El Silencio Spa and Retreat. Its location, up in the mountains, was a refreshing change from staying in the more humid lowlands. The grounds are beautiful with nice trails and a hummingbird garden. Our room was a nice sized cabin that was exquisitely decorated. We enjoyed sitting in the large rocking chairs on the front porch while listening to the birds and watching the misty clouds roll by. The food was amazing! Every meal was a treat! I am gluten intolerant and they brought me the most delicious rolls made of cassava. The service was excellent. Everyone was so kind and helpful. We would definitely stay there again!
INCREDIBLE. Loved, loved this place. Room was georgeous and the food was amazing. The spa was outstanding as were the hiking trails to a few different waterfalls. This was by far, the nicest place we stayed on our whole trip and a great place to end our vacation.
