El lugar es hermoso la atención podría mejorar un poco más ya que lo que venden de snaks como los dorilocoss los dan en $50 pero solo le ponen muy poco pepino,cacahuetes y cueritos, aparte te ardan demasiado para atenderte. La única inconformidad es que cobran los baños $5 pesos, cuando ya pagaste una entrada al parque

Es un lugar es muy agradable, el único detalle es que nos ofrecieron una fogata con nuestro hospedaje y cuando fuimos a solicitarla nos dijeron que no había leña, sin embargo, los asadores tenían mucha leña .

Es un lugar hermoso. Nosotros fuimos entre semana, por lo que teníamos el parque para nosotros solos. La atención de Nancy y de los chicos que cuidan por las noches y te llevan la leña es en verdad maravillosa. La comida es muy rica; no te puedes perder los tlacoyitos!! En el lugar encontrarás una alberca pequeña y un chapoteadero. Cuenta con asadores, sanitarios y regaderas con agua caliente. Nosotros acampamos, por lo que no podría opinar sobre las habitaciones del hotel, sin embargo por fuera se ve bastante bien. Puedes hacer senderismo y encontrarás una cascada. La única "desventaja" es que el estacionamiento queda un poco retirado de la zona de camping, y cargar todas tus cosas en subida, si cuesta trabajito Un lugar muy bonito!!!

Es mi lugar favorito para relajarme con mi familia, llevo años yendo y la verdad jamás he tenido una mala experiencia. Incluso he llevado grupos y la atención al 100%, tanto con habitaciones, como servicios y alimentos, siempre me han respetado todo lo que se queda en acuerdo. Incluso quiero organizar ahí mi boda. Sin duda es un hermoso lugar.

Muy buen lugar para un día de campo. En los asadores puedes usar la leña si costo. El lapso de espuma muy divertido.

Parque Santa Elena es uno de mis lugares favoritos, en cualquier época del año, cualquier clima, siempre tiene su magia; si buscas desconectarte de la rutina, nunca te va a fallar un lugar lleno de naturaleza, buena comida y aventura. El precio de entrada es muy económico por todo lo que te ofrecen. El lugar cuenta con lo necesario para preparar tus alimentos si es que lo deseas, puedes hacer senderismo a la cascada, hay fiesta de espuma, hamacas para descansar, albercas, juegos infantiles, en fin, vale la pena hospedarse. Además en PET friendly

Fuimos entre semana y tardaron media hora en darnos el acceso y estaba lloviendo. Su hotel es básico con instalaciónes algo viejas aún así cumple. Tiene un par de albercas pero para el clima predominante de la zona debería estar climatizada. Es un lugar bastante grande y bonito bien cuidado para pasar momentos agradables adultos y niños hacer senderismo y una buena fogata
