Our stay at the hotel was simply amazing! The staff treated us like family and every moment felt special. The food at the restaurant was a highlight, especially the breakfast, which was beyond delicious. The rooms were beautiful and offered stunning views, but we could have used a bit more space. Overall, we felt it was a great value for a luxurious experience, though there were a couple of minor quirks to note.

My stay at GAIA Hotel and Preserve was nothing short of exceptional. The private nature preserve and the well-designed rooms offered breathtaking views while the attentive service made me feel incredibly special. The restaurant, La Luna, served organic dishes that blew me away, especially at breakfast. However, the hotel is on a steep hill which could be a bit challenging for guests who prefer flat access.

Our stay at Gaia was an unforgettable experience, nestled in a stunning natural reserve. The attentive staff and beautiful surroundings truly made our trip special. While the rooms felt a bit dated in spots, the breathtaking view and serene atmosphere more than compensated.

Staying at this hotel was an incredible experience! The staff was amazing and felt like friends, making our honeymoon that much more special.
