Eco Lodge La Juanita

Very nice place with an amazing view! The lady that greeted us and checked us, and was super helpful and kind. Breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend.

It's a country experience in the middle of Manizales

The hosts and staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout our four-day stay. We could sit at our breakfast table in the morning, take in a great view, and watch all the birdlife. The hotel is just outside of Manizales, so it was easy to get into the city with our rental car and close to other sites in the area as well. Great value for the price. Would definitely recommend it.

Ecohotel Juanita has an unparalleled view of coffee farms and magnificent vistas of mountains that extend out to a hazy horizon. No, I'm not being overly descriptive. It is one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen in my entire life, and I grew up in Hawaii. A tropical bird slept in the planter that hung outside our window, and there's a short forest trail from the hotel's steep staircase that will lead past plants and clear-winged butterflies. When you eat breakfast on the balcony, colorful birds visit the feeder to eat any fruit left there as others soar off into the distance. After breakfast, we walked down the dirt road to tour a coffee finca, led by the owner who has lived there for decades. I don't review most of the hotels I stay at, but I had to review Ecohotel Juanita. Don't get me wrong, this is not a luxury resort like those in Dubai or Las Vegas. But if you are looking for immersion in nature with simple, kind service, this is it.
