I recently stayed at El Pital Chocolate Paradise for one night and it exceeded all my expectations. The location is perfect, with easy access to the lake and breathtaking sunset views. The dorm was clean and comfortable, and surrounded by lush vegetation. The staff was polite and always had a smile on their face, making me feel welcome. The highlight for me was definitely the food, which was some of the best I've ever had. The chocolate here is a must-try and is made with so much love. Thank you El Pital for a magical experience!

Couldn't recommend this hotel more!

We had an amazing time at a chocolate paradise in a perfect spot for lake activities. The dorm was clean and surrounded by beautiful vegetation. The staff were friendly and always ready to introduce us to the magical world of chocolate. The food, especially the chocolate treats, were the best we've ever tasted. The location was ideal for exploring the island by bike or ATV. our stay at El Pital exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend it.

Nothing, all great! 😊

I had an incredible stay! The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast and smoothies were delicious. The cacao tour and ceremony were life-changing. The biodiversity of the garden was impressive. Waking up to nature and the view was breathtaking.

Nothing bad to say.

The vibes at El Pital are amazing, with a beautiful lake view and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful, even going above and beyond to assist with accidents. The breakfast and smoothies at the cacao bar are delicious, made with fresh ingredients from their garden. The cacao tour and ceremony are life-changing experiences. The garden is full of biodiversity, with fruit, herbs, cacao, and flowers. The compostable toilet is eco-friendly. Waking up to the sight of squirrels, monkeys, and birds is a treat. The comfortable living room and stunning views of the volcano add to the overall experience. It's also conveniently close to El Zopilote for Pizza Night and hiking opportunities.

Felt very well looked after, nothing too much trouble.

During our recent stay at El Pital, Chocolate Paradise, we were absolutely enchanted by the idyllic setting. Nestled amidst the lush jungle and overlooking the sparkling lake, it truly felt like paradise. The hut we stayed in had breathtaking views on both sides - one facing the lake and the other the jungle. We loved waking up to the sounds of birds and monkeys and falling asleep to the soothing sound of the waves. The tranquility and natural beauty of the surroundings were simply magical.

Although there were a few minor drawbacks, such as the dampness in the rooms and the limited food options, they did not diminish our overall experience. El Pital, Chocolate Paradise may not have all the amenities of a typical hotel, but it definitely offers a unique and tranquil atmosphere where you can relax and connect with nature.

The value for money at this place was great, and the room was spacious and comfortable. The location by the lake was beautiful, and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

More breakfast choices would have made the experience even better.

Loved staff, welcoming atmosphere, amazing yoga classes, delicious food, beautiful location.

Can't think of anything.

The location is fantastic, right on the water with a breathtaking view of volcano Concepcion. The beds are comfortable and the staff is nice and helpful. The café serves delicious vegan food, with a menu that includes breakfast, smoothies, dinner, and desserts.

The toilets in the room were not fully functional and there were insects and lizards in the room.

I recently stayed at El Pital in Balgue for a week-long vacation. The hotel's location by the water is absolutely stunning, and I loved being able to relax on the terrace and even swim in the lake. The staff at El Pital were incredibly helpful and friendly, especially Angel who assisted us with scooter rental. The breakfast options were delicious, and I highly recommend trying their chocolate superpower smoothie. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is casual and laidback, making for a truly relaxing stay.

100% Recommend this hotel.
