We had been birding for the last few weeks and  were about halfway through the trip and exhausted so we decided to take a time out and relax in a hotel with a spa where we could get a massage.  I did some hunting online and found the Quo Quality Hotel which is a decent small hotel in Manizales.  The reviews looked good so we booked a night for some R&R.

That yellow building next door is a small shopping centre with a supermarket and a few fast food places.

The rooms are spotlessly clean and very modern looking.  The wifi worked great too!

Great views from the spa area on top.

There was a group monopolizing the area during the day (which I was pretty annoyed about) and we had to wait for them to leave before we could use the spa and have our massages.  Finally we were allowed in and could relax!  The spa changes colours which was pretty cool!

Quo Quality fit the bill for our need to chill out and relax but  I’d recommend making sure there are no private events that clash with your stay.  I booked with Hotels.com so I could get closer to a free night after 10 paid nights deal but they are available on most online hotel agencies.
