Lugar muy tranquilo para un fin de semana. Las cabañas son lindas y amplias, y el personal es muy atento. Incluye desayuno los fines de semana. Falta algo de iluminación en las cabañas, y la señal de wifi no es muy buena, pero está bien para desconectarse. Tienen restaurante y venta de diversos artículos. Cuenta con estacionamiento.

Lo ponen como cabañas pero la verdad están muy bien ubicados. Ví comentarios que la entrada esta muy feo pero son menos de 10 minutos, y toda esa carretera esta llena de árboles y si tienes suerte te tocará ver ardillas. Hay poca iluminación en la noche pero esta perfecto para sentirse aislado de la ciudad. Nos tocó ver insectos pero es normal porque son cabañas. Los asaderos y juegos están muy bien. Fuimos entre semana y no hubo nada de gente, estuvo perfecto. Sin duda volveríamos porque la persona encargada fue muy atento todo el tiempo.

Las cabañas impecables, desayuno muy rico sobretodo las quesadillas recién hechas, no me encantó el que pasarán coches todo el día frente a la cabaña, si vas con niños no esta bien por lo menos la que nos tocó. La entrada en coche está muy mal terracería y empedrada ojalá la mejoren. Esta bien señalizado para llegar. Muy padre las mesas de juegos, el golfito, la atención excelente, aunque no servía el teléfono de la habitación fue fácil contactar al personal.

Mi esposa y yo pasamos 3 noches de descanso pleno. La ubicación es muy buena porque no hay que ir hasta el centro del pueblo. En la recepción, el Sr Miguel hace un magnífico trabajo y es muy atento. El restaurante es muy conveniente y la atención de la Sra. Lupita es inmejorable. Ella es muy atenta a todos los detalles y los alimentos estuvieron muy sabrosos especialmente el domingo con el buffet que ofrece. Lo único que merece atención por parte del Municipio es el tramo final de acceso a las cabañas. Son 1.8 kilómetros para manejar con mucho cuidado. Ojalá el Municipio se de cuenta que esa zona tiene mucho potencial turístico y que al arreglar esa carretera de acceso hará que Las Cabañas El Estribo y todos los excelentes desarrollos que hay en ese lugar, se beneficiarán muchísimo a ellos y al Estado con solo apoyarlos a tener una mejor carretera de acceso. El servicio de internet es muy bueno en todas las zonas de las cabañas y en el restaurante.

Un lugar muy bonito y con instalaciones adecuadas lo malo es el camino para llegar a las cabañas no está iluminado y el paso es muy irregular, si llevas un auto bajito si se lastima :(

Great Cabin Experience, amazing service and outstanding Mexican bufete. Dirt road to get there, but that's the whole point of a secluded cabin! Nice bathrooms, peaceful nights. For sure I'll be back!
