Beautiful, tranquil location. Spaces are designed well, fit into the environment with exceptional details. Yoga class was a wonderful experience, excellent instructor in a calming space.
The access road is a little tricky to navigate in the rainy season.

Location was poetic and hotel staff cared greatly about a dislocated knee injury that I had just sustained the night before I checked in. They were attentive to my needs and cared about customer experience, so for that I am thankful.
I came to Zipolite hoping to be able to enjoy some tranquil anonymity, so the overly attentive staff stressed me out a bit. However, I fully acknowledge that this is a somewhat good problem to have.
My first hotel room at Alquimista (the suite), while impressive at a general level, one of the pillow cases had cigarette burn marks, and one of the 'clean' towels had questionable stains that led me to use my own towel instead. The room locking system is reduced to padlocks that can easily be picked, so this is something to take in mind if you care greatly for your security. The second room I stayed at had the shower head suspended from the ceiling with a makeshift string contraption (see photo) and came off the wall with a simple nudge. I had to waste time during my stay to deal with reporting this issue, and because they refused (politely) to move me to another room, I had to wait around for maintenance to enter the room to do plumbing. Overall I lost at least 2 hours of the time that I paid for because of this issue. For the price that I paid for the hotel, these issues are unacceptable and it would be nice to be compensated for loss of use value. Hope this review helps.
