About this property

Welcome to Cabañas Tlayan

Cabañas Tlayan offers a serene escape nestled in the heart of Tala, Jalisco. With a solid 4.6-star rating, this hidden retreat invites guests to immerse themselves in the tranquility of the mountains and lush forest surroundings.

While the journey to Cabañas Tlayan requires a sturdy vehicle—due to rough, uneven roads with steep inclines—the adventure adds a layer of authenticity to the getaway.

Visitors often describe the drive as an opportunity to disconnect fully from city life and press deeper into nature’s embrace.

Cabañas bonitas y el paisaje precioso. El camino para llegar está difícil aunque vayas con auto, ya que después de la carretera es una brecha muy larga con subidas y bajadas pronunciadas, está empedrado y con muchos baches y algunos socavones. Es IMPRESCINDIBLE ir en camioneta potente para llegar rápido y sin complicaciones. Hay un río cercano y áreas verdes para hacer picnic cerca. El servicio del hombre que nos atendió regular, cualquier duda nos resolvió aunque fue algo cortante, no muy flexible y cerrado, al comentarle las fallas, nos interrumpía. NOS COBRARON EXTRA EL INTERNET. (Desconozco si en otros paquetes incluya el internet).

We visited the property but didn't realize that options for staying the night were available. The people were very friendly and we are going to stay here on our next trip.

Un excelente lugar para pasar algunos días relajado en el bosque, sin el horrible ritmo citadino. Lugar arbolado, limpio, lujoso y con la infraestructura necesaria para pasarla bastante bien. Román el anfitrión, siempre atento y dispuesto a servir bien y efectivamente. Veo muchos comentarios con respecto al camino los cuáles son demasiado exagerados, consideren que eligieron ir al bosque y no al Hotel Marriott de Santa Fé en la CDMX, el camino no está mal, ni es peligroso, cualquier auto sube solo hay que saber conducir sin ser delicados, es todo. Además Google Maps tiene marcada la ruta a seguir por la brecha, no hay como perderse. Vayan, es hermoso el lugar.
