The lodgings are wonderfully designed and fully stocked with helpful utilities and amenities like an espresso maker, hair dryer, fridge and plenty of cookware. The layout is great and the bed was super comfortable. We also enjoyed using the hammock and roof deck, as well as the common space which has cookies, snacks and a well supplied mini bar all in a beautiful space. Hoping we can come back for a longer stay on a subsequent trip here!

One of the most incredible experiences of my life. The Patio staff really take special care of you…read more We were a group of 9 experienced riders and we road the whole island over six days. However you can stay at this lodge with or without riding, and I would highly recommend it. The staff are so helpful and accommodating and the food is incredible. They have Lucitano horses and a few dogs (Lucky and Brownie). The views are breathtaking. Katie was our trail guide and I am so grateful that they hired her because she is perfect for this job, she is happy and kind and kept everyone safe. She helps you enjoy every bit of your trail ride with great energy. Very thankful to the whole staff for this once in a lifetime experience. I pray maybe I will be able to make it back one day.

We stayed in several different rooms all were the same. Every faucet leaks, showerhead is a joke that won't stay up, toilets are loose, toilet seat is loose. No window screens on second floor. Rooms smell old moldy and musty. Beds are a disaster. Springs poking into back. Lumpy crooked mattress. Roosters crowing starting at 4:00 am and go all day until 8:00pm. Ok, that's not the fault of management, but it's a serious factor if you contemplate staying here.
