Un lugar muy bonito, los dueños unas personas muy amables y muy atentas, una vista impresionante. Una perrita muy linda también.
Me and my girlfriend spent three nights at El Portillo Cabanas and we had a great time! Saul and Maria are really sweet people who take great care of you. They know the true meaning of hospitality! Saul took us on a wonderful hike through the old growth forest of the Sierra Madre, he really loves the place and that shows, he knows just about everything about it. Maria was making great Mexican food us, and made sure we were always well fed and taken care off. The beautiful, mountainside garden with all the plants and birds and their dogs and cat really made this our literal highlight of Mexico. Great authentic experience - Saul and Maria made the true magic for us in this 'Pueblo Magico' - we definitely recommend this place!
El lugar esta hermoso íntimo si vas con tu pareja, la cabaña súper bonita limpia y cálida, los señores muy atentos amables y hacen el ambiente muy ameno ! Todo estuvo excelente.
Muy amable el Sr. Saul y su esposa, el lugar fue solo para nosotros, precio económico, muy tranquilo y amplio. Puedes hacer la reservación. Nos comento que también lo renta para eventos sociales.
Un lugar super recomendable, con una vista espectacular desde su mirador, de fácil acceso, sus cabañas bastante acogedoras y con privacidad, la atención por parte de los propietarios super amable y el desayuno qué prepararon delicioso.
