Family stay in nature
Fabulous place in gorgeous nature. The cabins are very fun and feel private with all the vegetation around. We had excellent service from the staff, and a great, rainy night tour on the property from Carina. Very quick walk to mini market and restaurants but off the main drag so it’s nice and quiet

Lovely patio
The room is dated but clean. The outdoor patio is amazing! We heard howler monkeys in the morning from our deck. Unfortunately we stayed only one night and didn’t have time to use the hot tub. I would recommend staying multiple nights to enjoy that outdoor space!
