    The restaurant could have more options of food and be careful with the salt. The stones to go up to the cabins are slippery. The trail should be worked on to make it more attractive.

    This place is great to have a chilled out time and get out of the city to be in nature for a while.

    Just a bit more comfort in the room. For example, there was a very small mat or rug inside the door of the room on which to wipe your feet. However it was on a varnished wood floor and one could easily slip on it and fall hard. It would have been nice to have another at the side of the bed so that when you get up you are not on hardwood floors with bare feet.

    This is a really nice lodge with simple rooms and a really good breakfast. Staff was exceptionally good as was the dinner and dessert menu. The shower was very comfortable with nice warm water available on very cool mornings.

    A few very minor issues just to bring to management. Shower head flow was good but in a compact flow due to calcification of head instead of more of a spray pattern. The only other issue is the rug in entry, the wood floors are beautifully finished, but the rug can easily slip out from under you if your not paying attention. I would recommend a non-slip backing to any rugs used on the wood floors to prevent potential guest falls. I only mention this because I worked in product safety for 25 years.

    Beautiful location in the mountains of Copey. Quiet and peaceful. Great views. Rustic atmosphere. Staff that we met, Michael & the chef were great. Nice hiking trail up the mountain. Stream with the soothing sounds of flowing water.

    There is one hiking trail on the property, and we took a long walk on a mostly-unpaved road up to a magnificent vista point, but there is not a lot else to do right there. That is not a criticism of the hotel itself.

    Lovely cabins set on a hillside overlooking a valley and farms on the opposite side. Our cabin had its own bathroom plus a king-sized bed, mini-fridge, coffeemaker (BYO coffee) and wood fireplace. But the best feature is the exceptional food in the restaurant. Do not miss the baked trout.

    El Toucanet is a delightful small hotel in the mountains with rustic cottages and a spacious, beautiful restaurant overlooking a garden. Moises, at the desk, was a gracious and caring host, as was the kitchen staff. Dinner and breakfast were excellent. Navigation is a must, as the hotel is about 30 minutes from the Pan American Hwy (Hwy 2) - absolutely worth the effort to get there. The sunny morning at breakfast with windows open and many species of hummingbirds feeding was most memorable.

    Not much. The restaurant menu could have had a few more vegetarian options for dinner but it did have some and this was not an issue at breakfast so it's up to you if you want some variety to eat elsewhere for a night or two. We stayed for 4 nights which I think is more than most so likely something unnoticeable. Also the chef kindly cooked up a tomato soup on request so no complaints. The hot tub seemed a bit erratic, not sure if we worked it out properly or it's faulty but a hot bath was just as good anyway. Really nothing to detract from a fabulous stay but hopefully this feedback is helpful.

    The staff are wonderful and helpful in every way possible. The lodges are so atmospheric, with stars galore at night and wood fires if the weather gets damp. The hummingbird garden by the stunning restaurant vista is bliss. The best thing I can say is that my wife and I both felt slightly bereft when we came to depart. Wonderful homely and peaceful place to stay and from the owner to every single staff we were made to feel warmly welcomed. Also, they helped us organise a quetzal tour which delivered us many of those beautiful birds.
