I have been to Casa Grande 8 years ago,and I remember it was a very tranquil and pleasant stay, it provided what it advertises= rest. So, I thought maybe coming back would be a great idea, specially since the web site and whole mood its shifted towards yoga, retreat, relax and breath. So we arrive there, are provided with the room key, no explanations about the things they offer or the place at all...which it's ok since they maybe think we know..no need for welcoming guests..now the room number 3. Many other reviews have been about noise. Mine is going towards that as well as lack of rules, balconies were guests were smoking all the time; cancel the point in breathing fresh mountain air. Noise from disrespectful guests=not caring whether there are children staying nearby or whatever, loud music and at 9-10 pm no one to go to in order to complain. So yes, there is room for improvement there, a little bit of insulation could do a lot for guests who are looking for rest.
Restaurant can be improved, a few simple and cheap things could do a great job changing the whole experience..as for things to do some trails can fill up a whole afternoon, and a bigger better library..even telling guests to bring old books can help.
Casa Grande has beautiful scenery of a great mountain and in the mornings just looking ant the fog covering it can be magic, again after a restful silent night, not a camping site.
Rooms and surroundings are well taken care of..

I was looking for a place to stay in the mountains near Utado and I am so happy I happened upon the Casa Grande Mountain Retreat. The retreat has a beautiful drive to approach and it's location is nestled down so it is nice and cool, a great reprieve from the coastal heat. The amenities were very clean and the gardens pristine with great signs letting you know what all of the neat plants are.

The staff was very friendly and I can imagine with a few nights stay you would be on a first name basis with all of them. The beds were a little stiff for the others in my party but they offered me the most comfortable sleep I had had in awhile. I also loved that every room comes with it's own hammock on the deck. The pool was in great condition.

Anyone looking for a relaxing stress free location is going to be very happy with the minimal atmosphere here. Eco-buffs will love the multitude of birds flying around and will be greeted by them at sunrise.

This is not the right place for anyone who has high demands, there isn't going to be any room service and while I have every belief the staff will do what they can to accommodate you this would probably feel like camping compared to a stay at the Ritz.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique get-away-from-it-all experience.

Our clan of 13, ages raging from 9 to 80+, decided to visit this resort we had read about a while back in the newspaper. We were very pleasantly surprised by the amazing beauty of the area and specially the outstanding service provided by the staff. We were able to enjoy great family time while visiting near by historical attractions. I would definitely recommend it to my family and friends.

We spent 2 nights here and one night included New Year's. There are 4 units in each pod so if you get a noisy neighbour(we did) you can hear everything through the thin walls-even a sneeze.
The restaurant service is unbelievably slow. Each morning it took over 45 minutes to get an omelet.In the evening the service was worse. Their staff is not well trained. The food is not at all interesting and ours was poorly cooked. You are basically trapped here for eating so don't expect much.The surroundings are tranquil but there is little to do. The one path that is mentioned is just a walk. We would not return. It is not worth the price.
