The location is fantastic. The availability of horseback riding throughout the valley was the primary reason for our selection of El Patio. The horseback riding experience was terrific. The room was large, modern, clean and very comfortable and with a nice "Western" theme style. The personnel were all very friendly and helpful.

The food was adequate, but not fantastic. The Dinner salad and chili were very good. The dinner "hamburger" was like an average meatloaf and the accompanying vegetables were bland.

We wanted to check out Kusasenrigahama, hike the Kuju Mountains and then go to Kurokawa Onsen Town, and this was the perfect spot for the first leg of our trip because it is so convenient to the Makinoto Pass Trailhead. The room itself is spacious and peaceful, with large windows overlooking green rolling hills. Beds are so comfy, including the duvet and cover. There was a long desk along the windows, great if you need to do some work or writing. The staff is great, and the western style of the restaurant and lobby is fun.

El Patio is in a beautiful part of Aso National Park and the room had an amazing view. It’s quiet and feels connected to the environment. The horses and the stables gave the whole place a rustic and Western vibe. The food was warm and hearty, perfect for cold winter nights. The staff were so kind and helpful, they were worried my rental car did not have winter tires (I stayed during a snow storm) and went to lengths notifying me in advance and making sure I would be safe driving on the roads.

The hotel room has a magnificent view. We can see the grass field and sunrise in the morning. The hotel room is excellent, neat, clean, comfortable and tidy. The staff was nice and helpful. We went for the horse riding tour the other day and the staff were happy to explain the horses to us.

The room was really quiet and equipped with 5 Star Hotel equipments, and I had such a relaxed time in the Onsen all by myself.
