World class

I stayed here for 3 nights in early January; this resort is truly world-class. With customer service and attention to detail like you won't find anywhere else in Venezuela, Estancia excels in all departments. My girlfriend and I took a 45min flight from Caracas to El Vigia and were collected at the airport by a member of staff. On the way to Estancia La Vera Cruz we stopped in the town of Zea to see the church of Our Lady of Mercedes and el niño de la cuchilla. It took approximately 1.5 hours from El Vigia to Estancia La Vera Cruz. It was raining on arrival - staff held umbrellas to keep us dry, gave us cocktails, took our luggage and ushered us to our room. The bedroom was amazing. Spacious, two bathrooms, a lounge, two TVs, a fridge, coffee, hairdryer etc, a really comfortable bed and a great view from the balcony looking out to the mountains and greenery. The food was delicious - the best i've had during my three visits to Venezuela - and i've been to some of the best restaurants in Caracas! My girlfriend had the traditional Venezuelan breakfast each morning of Arepa, fried beans, pork etc and I had fried eggs, bacon and toast. The fruit juices are amazing and really fresh. Try the jugo de guanabana y mora :-) Fruit and other fresh produce are grown on the land owned by the hotel making it very self-sufficient. There are a number of excellent restaurants from gourmet to pizzas. All great food, plentiful and well presented. You won't be disappointed!! In the evenings, there was a band playing in the pizza restaurant with couples and families singing along, which created a jovial and relaxed atmosphere. On the second day, we visited Laguna de las Palmas or Laguna Brava. The scenery and views were spectacular - and it was possible to get an arial view of Bailadores from the mountains and some great photos down by the lagoon itself. Estancia prepared a picnic, and provided a bottle of Myche that we enjoyed by the lagoon ;-). Afterwards we visited the Cascada de la Caru - a beautiful waterfall and tourist attraction close to the town of Bailadores. On our third day, a member of staff drove us 1.5 hours to Merida so we could experience the world's highest and longest Teleferico (cable car). Another surreal experience rising through the Andes mountains culminating at Pico Espejo, almost 4800m above sea level. Get a smoothie from MukumBatidos before you start your ascent. They are superb. Estanica La Vera Cruz also supports local artists. Some of the artwork and pieces of jewellery on display are a real testament to the talent that exists in Bailadores. Thank you Ricardo for the trip of a lifetime; one that i'll never forget. Hope to visit again soon. I stayed here for 3 nights in early January; this resort is truly world-class.

H E A V E N !

Bear in mind I’m an expat, so we tend to be harsher with our service and experiences in Venezuela. This place was a revelation, it’s so sophisticated, fun- seriously freaking amazing. The rooms are so comfortable and large (we stayed at the Cabaña La Veracruz). The breakfasts are full of choice, tasty and represent the kind of breakfasts we used to have in Venezuela when we were a great nation. All the restaurants are great. The pool has a bar and you can spend the whole afternoon drinking yummy mojitos and piña coladas. The service was INCREDIBLE. They all were very helpful and connected with you beyond a customer-staff interaction (Shout out to Norgan and Melvin). Seriously you won’t regret it, despite the long trip to get there. I look forward to come back soon ❤️❤️❤️ Bear in mind I’m an expat, so we tend to be harsher with our service and experiences in Venezuela.

SPECTACULAR

This place is amazing, I would have never guessed that this type of place existed in Tovar. My family and I stayed in two cabins. The cabins are amazing and gorgeous, I felt like they belonged in a movie. They're really well stocked in terms of technology- modern flat screened TVs, speakers, the showers have many different features. The cabin I all wooden tiles with a great smell of wood. The fridges are wall stocked as well. The pool area is great. The pool is heated and it has different levels, extremely fun. There's a jacuzzi which is great and has awesome hot water. There's a built in bar in the pool, available for ordering drinks- really great! The restaurant is really good too. It has a pod variety of entrées. But the best thing about the restaurant is how well attended to one feels. The service is really great, abnegated and attentive. My family and I had a spectacular time at Estancia La Vera Cruz. We definitely plan on going back. This place is amazing, I would have never guessed that this type of place existed in Tovar. My family and I stayed in two cabins.
