) To say too much about this place is to spoil the surprise, so we'll merely give you a
taste with a few simple descriptives: quirky, creative, stylish, ecofriendly, million-dollar
vistas. Plus there are kitchens, private terraces with hammocks and a solar-powered
Jacuzzi. You get the idea - a once-in-a-lifetime experience and well worth the splurge.
Reserve one to two weeks ahead and get here by passing by its partner hotel, La Cúpula.

) In-
ternational travelers rave about this inviting oasis, marked by two gleaming white domes
on the slopes of Cerro Calvario, with stupendous lake views. The rooms are pretty basic -
and the beds will be too soft for some - but we love the gardens, hammocks, shared kit-
chen and friendly atmosphere. The helpful staff speak several languages. Best to reserve
ahead.
