    I loved it
    • Leisure trip

    • Standard Quadruple Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    What could have been better? I'm sure if I sat and thought for a while I could think of somethings but I can't really see why I would do that, it was really good in my opinion, if its not broke why try to fix it.

    Personally I found this property to be excellent. Firstly the road to it. I didn't really know what to expect but I didn't find any real issue with it. Would I drive a Ferrari down it, maybe not or if I did I'd maybe do it at 10 kmph, in my Kia Picanto I was able to mostly stick to the speed limit of 20 kmph. I found every member of staff to be delightful, friendly and helpful. I found the accommodation to be lovely about a 2 minute drive or 10 minute walk from the reception, restaurant, pool etc I found the meals and drinks to be lovely and a nice choice. They will even deliver to your accommodation if you chose. The pool I had completely to myself apart from the birds and passing Iguanas. The tour to the monkey sanctuary, to start with I was a little disappointed that I was told I needed to go with a guide. However if I hadn't I would more than likely have got lost or maybe attacked by quite a large croc that was pointed out to me by my lovely guide. The monkeys were obviously an absolute delight but so was the interaction between them and my guide. He must do that so often but he seemed to be enjoying their company as much as I did. They are definitely living wild but very friendly. I can't really think of anything else, all in all I thought it was excellent and a beautiful experience. Thank you

    It was a little difficult to reach . Google maps wouldn’t give us a route . Perhaps when you book you could get a little map . The fact it was difficult to get to did add to its amazing location however

    Lovely location . We had a little split level apartment / house set in a beautiful jungle setting . Well equipped and with private outside space

    It is hard to find the access road to get there from the highway. It's also pretty rough roads to reach the site.

    Quiet and secluded location. Friendly and helpful staff.

    The road to the place was not well maintained. We had a small car, but we still managed it.

    It was a really unique experience from the rest of El Salvador. A lot of nature and interesting activities. People are friendly and helpful. Food at the restaurant is really nice. We saw the monkeys and took an amazing boat trip to the island pajarito.

    Beautiful property situated by Juilisco Bay. The area was peaceful and the hospitality was top notch. Boat and kayak rentals are available, or you could just to just let the time pass by on a hammock. Carry plenty of sunscreen, insect repellant (natural as far as possible) and water, although they are all available at a slightly marked up price in a shop within the property. Part of the road leading to the property is unpaved but it is accessible by sedans/ smaller cars.

    -The children’s playground may need some upgrades -I would recommend adding some eco-friendly lights to some areas, like visible guides for the vehicles near the restaurant (?)

    We loved the opportunity to explore the ecosystems in this reserved area; we saw a wide variety of birds, the monkeys and had a glance of the cocodrilos; we also took a boat tour to the Bahia. it was an amazing experience. the guides were great. in general the staff was attentive and friendly. we are thankful for this experience; highly recommended.

    A bit disappointing

    • Solo traveller

    - everything closes super early and opens late: no breakfast before 8am, last order for dinner at 4:30!! - the bar wasn't open and it seemed it hadn't opened in a while. On their website they say you could watch a game there and everything but there's nothing. - the pool area is not great. no comfy chairs, not much space for lying directly at the pool. All 3 basins are basically the same and have very warm water. - the accomodation is far away from the pool area and the restaurant (10 min(!) walk) - so after all this place is way too expensive

    - super friendly staff - very clean - very good restaurant - quiet - they are caring for the environment

    It was difficult to find the road to the property. There was only 1 restaurant and the menu was very limited. The Mosquitoes ate us alive.

    The Boat ride to the private Beach was both relaxing and fun. The Monkeys were amazing to see and interact with. The rooms were clean and quaint.
