Een mooie lodge in een mooie omgeving. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. De maaltijden zijn gevarieerd en lekker. Ligt dicht bij het natuurpark en heeft een eigen wandelweg in het regenwoud vlakbij de lodge.

Pros:

Sehr schöne Anlage mit interessanter Entstehungsgeschichte. Großer Garten, eigener Trail, offener Innengarten im Gemeindchaftsbereich. Frühstüch und Abebdessen waren sehr gut und nicht überteuert.

Cons:

Wir hatten Pech mit dem Wetter, es war kühl und nass. Die Räumlichkeiten sind durch ihre offene Bauweise sehr zugig. Man musste mehrere Lagen übereinanderziehen, um entspannt sitzen zu können.
