Great location, friendly staff, and comfortable accommodations.

10/10 Exceptional

This place was perfect for our family of 4. We loved the back patio with table and mini kitchen. It was beautiful to sit and eat breakfast on the patio watching the hummingbirds in the flowers. The staff was helpful and friendly. They helped us book a couple excursions as well.
Christina, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel is very dated

Unfortunately the cabins are not suitable for 4 people. The tv didn’t work! The rooms were dated. The best thing about the hotel was the bar where staff and guests were very friendly. Not a place I would stay again nor class as 3 star

Nice place

Friendly staff and very helpful. Bed was comfortable. Room large, but poor lighting. Food was excellent in their restaurant.
Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was amazing and very accommodating, bed was a little uncomfortable and the road noise was a little loud.
Antonio, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good experience with everything. Staff were helpful and friendly. The bungalows are large and very unique. Close enough to the city but far enough away to feel safe. Great location next to the jungle and the river walk. The Howler monkeys woke us up early each morning but that was part of the whole experience. Very good food at the onsite restaurant as well. We would definitely stay there again.
Deanna, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

Beautiful grounds, walking paths and lots of privacy between each villa. The staff was helpful and kind. Walking along the river in the mornings was a splendid treat and very relaxing. We walked to town, dining and waterfalls for swimming. The food and drinks on site were very good and reasonably priced. Cannot wait to go back!!!
