Mesón del Cuchicute

As one of San Gil’s finest hotels, Mesón del Cuchicute is still remarkably affordable. A country-club-styled inn with park-like grounds, the Mesón has all the comforts that make up a luxury vacation: swimming pool, playground, Jacuzzi, sauna, gymnasium and game room. The brick-floored rooms are amazing with fan, cable TV, mini-bar (separate charge) and private balcony. The hand basins in the hot-water baths are made of rough marble, copper and brass. Rooms for singles or couples are on the third floor. Mesón del Cuchicute also is ecologically conscious, it recycles and has a composting refuse. This has to be one of the best bargains in Colombia.
