La Qhia Eco Retreat

Nice stay in Santa Fe Our room had some drawbacks, like many gaps between the roof and walls that enable insects to go inside, but we used our own mosquito net and we were safe to sleep quietly. The second night ants invaded our room, we were offered to be moved to another room, but we were ok with the solution to spray them as we weren't in the mood to pack all our belongings. Reynaldo who runs the hostel is really nice guy, very attentive, helpful and available any time of the day. He is also behind the local infocenter, that provides a good source of necessary info about all possible activities in Santa Fe. Food in hostel's restaurant was also good.

Very nice place - but noisy roosters at 5am Santa Fe town is small and quite lovely with many fun things to do. This hostel is well situated and the rooms are recently renovated and very clean. The rooms were very clean, ok comfort wise and had warm water - which other hostels don’t- so big plus. They had a bar onsite and will open restaurant soon as well. The only cons were parking as not enough and we had to park on the outside street (though seems safe) and the worst was the amount of roosters that the neighbors next door had. I was woken up at 5am to a serenade of roosters - prob over 100 going off one my one at least till 7am- I had ear plugs and it was not enough. At 6am while trying to sleep I googled a lot of facts about roosters - as apparently they can continue all day and night long. So great place for those that like waking up at 5am- but if you want to sleep in then this may not be a place for you.

I stayed at La Quia four nights at the end of April 2024. The lodging is rustic and comfortable with a good breakfast included at very reasonable rates. The owners, David and Cindy, were very friendly and pleasant to speak with. I was able to do some of the many activities in the Santa Fe area each day I was there from jungle hiking to visiting waterfalls and horseback riding. All was arranged by La Qhia's manager, Reynaldo, who did a fantastic job setting up all the logistics. If you're going to Santa Fe, La Qhia is your best choice.
