I can't say enough wonderful things about our stay at Gaia. The rooms are amazing, we had a waterfall room with the peaceful sound of the waterfall in the background and their service was outstanding!

We stayed in the villa and it was wonderful! Very spacious, private, and quaint - I would describe it as rustic luxury. The staff at Gaia is great - everyone goes above and beyond! There is a lot to see and do nearby - especially if you're active. It was a great 4-night stay!

Located in the pine ridge reserve over looking waterfall, the view is stunning. Private waterfall natural pool lounging area is available to the guests. Room is cozy and comfortable, smaller than expected. Complimentary breakfast is great since there are only two high-end restaurants within 25 minutes drive. It is expensive to dine in the hotel. Landscape and the surrounding nature is beautiful. It is close to Big Rock waterfall. There is no AC in the room, but we didn’t feel hot as the mountain is cooling. However, the approximately to the fall does make all our clothings quite damp. The staff are extremely friendly.

Property is very nice overall and the employees were wonderful. Location is lovely with easy access to the waterfall and beautiful sunsets from the deck.
Only issue was the water pressure was weak in our our mountain view bungalow.
Due to the location you are somewhat hostage to the restaurant as it's a bit of a trek to get out. Fortunately the kitchen did a great job and we enjoyed the meals and the drinks.
They were accommodating for early morning departures and would pack up to-go breakfasts if you let them know the night before. Coffee delivery to the room was also greatly appreciated.
Overall it's recommended and we would stay there again.

This may have been our favorite hotel ever for our family of four, including two teens. It was gorgeous and so unique, and the hospitality was off the charts. Every staff knew our names. They were all incredible, but especially Kobe! And the waterfall and pools were amazing to swim in. We planned on spending one free day there but ended up being there for two because nobody wanted to leave them!
If I had to find a criticism, the tram to the waterfall was broken while we were there. This seemed to be unusual but was a big hardship me with a bad knee. It is also fairly remote and the road is a bit scary to drive at night but we ended up doing it. It was worth it. We hope to be back!

Gaia has an Amazing location perched above a beautiful waterfall. Three days was sufficient for us—gave us time to tour a Mayan Ruin and canoe thru a nearby cave. The food was outstanding as was the staff. Javier and Freddie really made the stay next level. The road in needs some attention, beyond that our stay was great!

Beautiful property! Very expensive but was very thankful I got at least one night experience at Gaia. Waking up to the 5 Sisters waterfalls is magical. Especially loved the garden and was very lucky to get a tour from farmer Pat. We also did a night jungle walk and we enjoyed that a lot as well.
