For positives, it is mostly very tranquil. We loved the view from our room and thought the breakfast and staff was really nice. I saw complaints about the juice but it is fresh without sugar added. It’s definitely not “bad.”
You are about a 7 minute walk from the river and 15 minutes from the town. I don’t recommend for people with any kind of walking challenges as the walk would be very hard if possible at all.
The downsides are that this is more of a glamping experience and less of a hotel experience. Things to be away of is the floor having huge gaps that expose you to the outdoors. We didn’t bring any food into our room and only ate in town, yet we were waking up with ants and other bugs in our bed and crawling on us. There is not hot water (which is a lot of places) but worst of all the shower is moldy and broken. We were only there for 3 days and I am thankful because the closest I got to a shower was swimming in the river every day. There was a day where you could smell sewage as well through the slats but it ended after about 20 minutes. The pool and hot tub were both out of order, but are still included in the photos of the property. I don’t know if this is a dry season thing or just while we were there, but we also didn’t see it being worked on either. As mentioned, the surrounding hotels/hostels sometimes play music very, very loud and late into the night. It turns the peaceful tranquil surroundings into an absolute nightmare as there is no soundproofing.
The staff were amazing and very helpful. It is a quick walk to the main area of town and walking trails. breakfast was delicious and lots of options! There is a nice pool with nets hammocks and river access.
Beautiful accommodation and super friendly staff. Delicious breakfast with good variety. Clean, cozy rooms with amazing view. We will definitely come again!
The room was lovely with a view and basic amenities. I do think some refinement/update is necessary for example our toilet was not secured to the building and moved whensat down on in addition to the nets in front of the cabin were damaged.
Nice little hotel up in the mountains. Perfect service, everyone made it so that we had a perfect stay. We stayed for two night. Nights were a little warm having the fan in the room was a blessing. Short into town. The breakfast and dinner offered at the hotel were delicious. Great views of the mountains . Perfect for a couple of days to get out of the noisy streets and beaches. I highly recommend it!
The location was amazing. A short 10 minute walk to town and amazing views. The staff were excellent with everything and also spoke English.
We had really good WIFI, comfortable bed and a bi of hot water.
We really enjoyed our stay at Sweet Harmony. Staff were friendly and gave advice on things to do in the local area. There is also great choice for breakfast each morning. Guests also can explore the grounds of the hotel with a river and hammocks to enjoy. Would definitely recommend this hotel

Great views! The cabanes with AC are great. Well maintain property. Please provide more quantity and variety to the breakfast.
We were only able to book a standard room and regretted it. Since the hotel was full we were not able to upgrade either. The room was very hot and since there were so many mosquitoes we were not able to open up the window. We did have a nice rooftop terrace with a very nice view! The staff is very friendly and tries to help any way they can. They explained all the sites in the area and provided a map.
We were a little surprised how far the hotel was from town. Definitely more then .37 miles away from town. I agree it would be nice to have a little bridge over the river to cut down travel time but since it is shallow we were able to wade through. It would also be nice to upgrade the rooms with screens on the windows in order to be able to open them and have the rooms cool off at night.
Nice hotel, a few minor tweaks could make it great
Nice hotel, very attentive staff, good breakfast. The hotel was about 10 minutes walk from the main road, there are few hotels in Minca but many hostels.
There was no air con so the room was pretty warm most of the time. The security in the room wasn't great ( window didn't lock shut for example) but we had no issues. The bathroom didn't have a blind so people from the rooms below could see in if they decided to walk around to the back of their room.
