Toller Bungalow für erholsame Ferien. Es hat viel Tiete die man direkt auf dem Grundstück beobachten kann
Pros:

Wir hatten den Deluxe Bungalow und der war einfach toll. Sehr geräumig mit Whirlpool.
In 5 Minuten ist man einem ruhigen Strand.
Wir hatten großartige Tage in Puerto Viejo

Cons:

Eine Hängematte wäre noch super gewesen.

Pros:

Location of the hotel is in jungle, away from main street so you hear the sounds af nature (birds, monkeys walking on pur roof etc).
They changed our room by request for a personal health issue and gave an entire house at the same price, for only 2 guests.

Cons:

The house is made of wood and with no windows(only nets instead) so you hear anything from outside (even the cars/motors from main street or road near). Two nights in a row a (quite big) cockroach “visited” me even in my bed and on my body(neck), but I suppose this is a price to pay when you’re immersed in jungle.
