Summary: Beautiful resort with very friendly and helpful staff. Most comfortable bed of our stay.

Michele Jan 7, 2026 10:08:05 PM

Summary: This hotel is the most unique and special place I think we’ve ever stayed! The property is absolutely beautiful. The five sisters waterfall on property takes the place of a resort pool and it is the most gorgeous and peaceful place to spend a day. We ended up spending two full days down there since we loved it so much. The rooms are beautiful. My husband was nervous about how hot it might be without AC, but it was not a problem at all. The service was incredible. Most of the staff at the hotel knew all four of our names and treated us like family. If I had to get a con, for us Americans, the drive into the property was challenging. I definitely recommend not doing it at night your first time and taking it very slow. But we did it multiple times over our stay of four nights and we were fine as long as you go slow. The only other issue we experienced was the tram to take you down to the waterfalls was broken during your thing. That seemed to be a fluke, but it was very disappointing as the steps up and down a challenge and there was no food or drink service down there. But we would absolutely stay here again! We were there with our two teenage daughters and it was everyone’s favorite place we have ever stayed!

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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!

Summary: Scenic location with grest service. Staff was on point, professional and on top of the small things

Jessie Nov 12, 2025 10:23:27 AM

Summary: 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!

Donny Nov 6, 2025 10:22:46 AM

Summary: Room was incredible. Clean and always ready for us. Staff is excellent.

Summary: We loved it at Gaia! Already want to come back!

casey Jun 10, 2025 05:25:06 AM

Summary: It was great. The waterfalls on site are stunning. The views from the restaurant are amazing and the staff was great. They were always friendly and attentive. The only complaint is that it needs some sort of AC for during the day. Fans weren't enough to keep the room cool in the hot season. Other times of the year I'm sure it's perfect. I'd still highly recommend it.

Mindy Mar 30, 2025 08:16:08 AM

Summary: Gaïa is a dream. We loved every second of our stay. Massages at the waterfall, dinner, the amazing room, coffee service to your room in the am. The staff was so friendly and kind. They have literally thought of everything. Our only mistake was not staying longer.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
