Pros:

La struttura è molto bella, le camere pulite e i letti super comodi! Posizione strategica per le rovine Maya ma a prescindere è ovviamente meglio soggiornare qui in mezzo alla foresta che nella città di Palenque.

Cons:

La piscina ce l' aspettavamo un po' più grande e un po' più pulita

Pros:

Die Lage ist voll im Jungle, man sieht und hört jeden Tag Tiere. Mega schön! Das Restaurant fand ich auch gut.

Cons:

Der Pool war fast 40 grad (ich hatte keinen Thermometer aber das Wasser war vom Gefühl her noch wärmer als die Luft und die Luft war 39 grad.

Geweldige locatie in de jungle
Pros:

De locatie is werkelijk magisch, en de sfeer is geweldig. Ook was onze accomodatie schoon en netjes, en het personeel was erg behulpzaam.
Omdat de accomodatie een eindje uit het centrum ligt was het fijn dat we dichtbij konden ontbijten en dineren.
