Estuvo bien para una emergencia.
Pros:

Es muy lindo a la vista, el personal es muy amable.

Cons:

No tienes mucha privacidad se escucha todo en todo momento de todas las habitaciones. El cubrecama y el rodapié de la ducha no parecían limpios.

Leider sehr dreckig
Pros:

Das Personal kam auf unsere Wünsche früher zu gehen als gebucht entgegen und das Frühstück war sehr gut.

Cons:

Die Unterkunft war leider sehr dreckig. Die Bettdecken haben gestunken, es war nicht richtig geputzt, es gab Schimmel im Bad.
Auf dem Balkon lag Kacke von einem Tier, in einer Hängematte lag Schmutz.

Quite and lushgreen place
Pros:

The scenic view and lush garden full of birds and agoutis. We enjoyed the balcony and hammock very much. The rooms and the building is very spacious and quite as there were few other guests. On a 15min walk from the centre.

Cons:

The breakfast was served quite late. We stayed three nights and the breakfast was minimalistic (scrambled egg, mashed patato, one slice of tomato and fruitjuice) and the same all days. Some variation and diversity would have been highly appreciated.
There is no staff arround except for check in and breakfast. You are responsible to check and close all doors of the main building yourself.

Draps moisis, responsable désagréable.
Pros:

- Le cadre, au milieu de la jungle

- La femme sur place qui s’occupe du petit déjeuner et du ménage est très aimable

Cons:

- Les draps moisis. Odeurs et tâches de moisissures sur le drap principale + cheveux

- La responsable Paola : très désagréable, qui ne voit que business mais n’en a pas l’esprit 😄 (pour avoir discuter avec pas mal de monde dans le village, elle a la réputation d’être antipathique et désagréable ^^)

- La connexion internet, nous avions réservé ce logement exclusivement pour travailler et avons été privés de wifi toute la journée. On nous a reproché d’avoir appuyé sur un bouton sur le boîtier (ce qui est véridique, après 2h de travail perdues sans internet et sans nouvelles de personnes malgré nos relances, nous avons tenté de réinitialiser le boîtier, qui est accessible et dont aucune mention « don’t touch » n’apparaît). Nous n’avons pas apprécié le traitement qui a suivi à notre égard.

Fantastiske sted og enormt sødt personale!
Pros:

Fantastiske omgivelser og udsigt. Tukaner uden for vinduet og bjerge i baggrunden! Personalet er enormt søde!

Cons:

Personalet var ikke særlig tit til stede, og nogen gange manglede man dem. Når de var der, var de enormt søde og hjælpsomme, men man var tit overladt til sig selv.
