Boato Hotel is a great relaxing atmosphere. I would suggest it for couples trying to disconnect. It is easy to get to in a car down a somewhat rough road off of the main highway. We did not have any problems in a 2WD SUV. Don't count on being able to get an UBER, and drive or have booked transportation is you are going here. The clubhouse is at the top of the hill with the restaurant and reception. Upon arrival they valet you bags to the LAR/room. The rooms are down a quite steep path that is concrete and runs from the clubhouse to the lake. The rooms are very private, have good amenities/hot water and great views. There is not heater or air conditioner, so be prepared for the climate when you are going. Food is delicious and delivered directly to the room when you want it. All communication can be had in person at reception or via Whatsapp. We did jet skis and massages while there and enjoyed both experiences. During the day we traveled to nearby pueblas since other that the water activities and amenities there is not much to do at the hotel for entertainment. I highly recommend renting a car so that you can enjoy both the hotel and surrounding areas.

Excellent customer service, the experience begins from the moment you book the reservation, they are very responsive and attentive. The hotel is amazing, peaceful and pleasant. We loved the food, the staff, the amenities and the experience. We will definitely come back, we loved this place.

The cabins are self contained and super comfortable, with a very comfortable soft bed, plenty of sheets and blankets. We visited in March and had a mix of sun and rain and were very comfortable. The view from the cabin and deck is amazing and surrounded by nature. The jacuzzi was lovely and having a fire pit in the evening was perfect. Staff were extremely responsive and helpful by WhatsApp and kindly organised our taxi to the airport. Hot water was plentiful and filled the jacuzzi bath no problem. Internet connection was good in the cabin too. All the little details had been thought of and staff were great. Breakfast was delicious and served to your room if you wanted and always on time. And we loved the free use of the kayaks / paddle board on the lake too, everything was very easy. We found it fine to be able to get Ubers to and from the hotel too, or the reception can organise taxis, and it’s just ten minutes from La Piedra. Top location and hotel - highly recommend.

Perfect for Family Retreat. Boato Crew is amazing. Expect to bound with nature and disconnect from everything. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The living space was really comfy. Beds are amazing and the sounds of birds in the morning delightful. I can only recommend that place.

We have never stayed in a hotel like this. Our private little self-contained “Lar” was very comfy and well stocked. A short walk to the lake which was perfect for swimming on a hot sunny Saturday afternoon. We swam every day we stayed here. The water was clear and warmer than many swimming pools we have been in. One afternoon we rented a jetski and had a blast rocketing around the lake. The deck of the lar was ideal for a glass of wine to appreciate the sunset and we watched evening thunderstorms from the comfort of our bed under ample covers. We used the jacuzzi a couple times enjoying the sounds of birds and frogs chirping all around us. Nights were cool but we were cozy under the covers. A short walk up the path was the restaurant with a fine selection of food and drinks. The food has been excellent- breakfast, lunches, suppers. The service has been great too. Not much English but extremely willing to try to help. It was an absolute treat to stay here. We will earmark this hotel for a future visit.

Noise all night long. Other guests partying all night long, boats going by with really loud booming music, the doors would rattle loudly when the wind passed, they had a loud generator going when the power would go out, which was at least once a day and sometimes lasting for hours. It was very hard to sleep there. It is definitely not a place to go if you want peace and quiet. They overcharged us and we are still fighting to get that fixed, but you never know how those things go. They essentially charged us for an extra night. The included breakfast had very little variability and choices.
