What guests say
8.9 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 468 guest reviews
El Monte Sagrado earns consistently high praise for its stunning grounds, serene atmosphere, and quality food and bar offerings, making it a genuinely beautiful retreat. However, recurring complaints about understaffing, limited daytime dining, and minor room maintenance issues suggest operational gaps that prevent it from fully matching its luxurious aesthetic. Guests overwhelmingly enjoy the experience and would return, but service consistency remains an area needing attention.
