Wow. My husband and I stayed at El Silencio for our Honeymoon in November 2011 (sorry for the tardy review). While I have certainly rated other hotel reviews at 5 stars, I wish there were a way to give El Silencio a 6. From the moment Vinicio picked us up from the airport, we were completely taken care of. They eco concierge service is unrivaled. The food was included and absolutely amazing. Healthy, local, gourmet and creative. We were impressed with every single course (best tortilla soup either of us have ever tasted). The rooms are spacious, with a huge king size bed, premium linens, a wonderful bathroom with awesome shower and great lounging furniture. We had a private two person jacuzzi tub on our deck. We had great adventures that we booked through our concierge-- went to Hot Springs, did white water rafting, ziplining and a horse back riding trip. The spa is beautiful as well-- a must see. We had fun just walking around the property as well. We also went on a cultural tour with Vinicio-- made tortillas and visited the local town. It was a highlight of our trip. We stayed there for four nights and would go back in a heartbeat. Since we were there in November, it rained most of the time. It certainly wasn't cold, but we did need long pants and light weight long sleeve shirts. The weather wasn't the best during our stay, so we'd probably aim to go back when it's supposed to be warmer (we couldn't view the volcano on the trip we booked because of rain and fog, and we couldn't go hiking because of torrential rain). But truly, honestly, the best hotel I've ever stayed in. Thanks for an amazing honeymoon!
