Eco Hotel Río de Oro, San Rafael: hot tub, mountains and the yellow bridge
It has the highest score among San Rafael places with more than 50 reviews. The price of that calm is access: stairs and uneven ground from the parking lot.

What it is
A mountain hotel with areas its official site calls Plaza Bosque and Plaza Pan de Azúcar. The Booking.com listing mentions a garden, lounge, terrace, hot tub, spa, restaurant and bar, with some units offering a mountain-view balcony and full kitchen.
Access, in detail
The hotel's directions: coming from Guatapé, turn off at the yellow bridge marked "RIO DE ORO", in the Bizcocho sector, about 5 km before town. The road is paved to the parking lot, followed by stairs and uneven ground. If you have big suitcases or travel with someone with limited mobility, ask about help first. The Booking.com listing gives a different address (vereda Manila, Alejandría road); follow the official site's directions and message their WhatsApp at 311 436 4139 if in doubt.
Reading the reviews
9.8 out of 10 from 52 comments as of October 18, 2026. With that many, the score is solid; filter by recent months to see if the service holds up.
