Destino Hotel & Hot Spring

If you enjoy unique places, Destino is a MUST DO! The photos are exactly what you get - no unpleasant surprises. The villa we stayed in for 3 nights has 2 bedrooms, each with an ensuite toilet and sink. Each has access to 2 showers, an indoor and an outdoor. The infinity pool was a fabulous way to cool down and relax after a day of hiking. The kitchen was fully equipped for four people with full sized fridge, gas oven and stove, microwave, dishwasher, kettle, small drip coffee machine, stove top expresso maker, and a ricemaker. There's air conditioning that we used only at night for sleeping. Dining is el fresco with wonderful views from the deck. Orlando was an excellent communicator and was super helpful and accommodating. The location is a little off the beaten path, but honestly, that's definitely part of the charm! The dirt road is steep in places, but absolutely no issues in our rented rear wheel drive Toyota Rush. The landscape is fun to explore, with plenty of kilometers to walk. There is a view of the Rio Blanco and a path/steps down to it for those who are able. You don't want to miss a stay at Destino!

This place was gorgeous and Orlando was an excellent host. If I get the chance I would definitely stay here again.

Our stay at Destino Hotel & Hot Springs exceeded all expectations. We escaped the busy tourist area near the beaches to find true luxury in this tranquil natural environment. We explored the surrounding countryside, villages, and attractions each day, then retreated to the comfort and beauty of our Villa. Magnificent sunsets each evening over the expansive canyons, carved by the river we could hear and see below, were thoroughly enjoyed as we soaked in our own private warm mineral water pools. There was even a path with stairs that led down through the trees and flowers to the river and a tiki-style picnic area. Tropical birds and wildlife thrive here too. The modern Italian-style kitchen in our Villa enabled us to enjoy the local fruit and vegetables and we even had fun shopping for groceries. With all the privacy in this seemingly remote location, it was amazing when we had a gourmet pizza and salads delivered to our door. The hospitality was spectacular. Our host couldn’t have been better at making us feel cared for and at home. He communicated perfectly and was always available for anything we needed. Even when we had a flat tire heading out for the airport, he was there in a flash to save the day. Wellness indeed and so much more!
