The place is lovely, in the middle of the jungle, very secluded. Lots of animals around you, parrots, toucans, iguanas, squirrels. The pool area and the bar were nice. Staff is very helpful, explained everything to us even before our arrival, responded to our messages very quickly and helped us book all the tours.
