Entre neblina e intensa lluvia llegué a este lugar… la comida sabe muy bien y el precio es considerable. Acampé por una noche y el amanecer entre el bosque fue increíble.

Excelente lugar por las vistas, la atención, comida etc. Yo fui a un evento deportivo pero todo lo demás y sobre todo la atención de todo el personal que trabaja ahí fue excelente. Lo recomiendo para un día de relajación con tu familia (el sándwich está muy bueno para el desayuno).
