    Location was great within easy reach of town yet hidden away. Staff helped with taxis and organising trips before we arrived and whilst we were there. Economy rooms were simple but clean and well ventilated so stayed cool.

    Great staff - very friendly! Breakfast was buffet style and very good. The lodges are located in the heart of Santa Elena making it very easy to walk to restaurants, bars and shops. Lovely walk out the back and up the hill to watch the sunset.
