Amazing stay! We came here for our honeymoon, and it was the perfect choice.
One of the owners of the lodge, Sebastien, even picked us up and dropped us off at the airport himself. We were really impressed with this…

What we’d check for you here

How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.

Questions about The Tranquilo Lodge

What time is check-in and check-out at The Tranquilo Lodge?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does The Tranquilo Lodge allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at The Tranquilo Lodge?

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

Is breakfast included at The Tranquilo Lodge?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Can I book a block of rooms at The Tranquilo Lodge?

The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.

Does The Tranquilo Lodge have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book The Tranquilo Lodge?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
