Tiene una vista al bosque de la primavera muy bonito, es un lugar agradable para pasar en familia, una alberca para adultos, un chapoteadero con agua termal , precio accesible por persona, buena sombra, rodeada de naturaleza, área para estacionarte, asador, los dueños son muy amables, solo no es muy grande el lugar y falto algo de limpieza en los baños, no vi regadera (nose si no revise bien) , solo cambiador y baño. Recomiendo para pasar un rato agradable

No he ido pero me parece mucho jaleo para una alberca, pero voy a ir nomás para ver si es cierto que nos atienden bien porque en todos lados son bien groseros los dueños

Me atrevería a recomendarlo como el mejor lugar para cualkier evento familiar...ya k por sus características,no hay otro en Guadalajara k ofrezca lo mismo....y si lo k se buska es relajarse y estar en contacto con la naturaleza...no hay mejor sitio... definitivamente.
