Sehr schöne Anlage
Pros:

Die Geräuschkulisse nachts ist überwältigend. Man hört die Tiere im Wald und das Wasserrauschen des Flusses. Von daher ist der Standort der Hotelanlage sehr gut. Freundliches Personal. Die Speisekarte bietet zwar nichts Vegetarisches, aber durchaus gute Gerichte.

Cons:

Bis nach Tena sind es 12 km. Die guten Wanderwege zu den Höhlen, Wasserfällen und der Laguna Azul liegen auf der anderen Seite von Tena. Mit dem Taxi ist es teuer, man muss also früh den Bus nach Tena nehmen. Der braucht etwa 20 Minuten. Die Hotelführung hat von Nachhaltigkeit noch nichts gehört: Die Handtücher werden grundsätzlich jeden Tag gewechselt. Nur wenn man es dem Personal erklärt, kann man das Handtuch behalten. Vermutlich geht der Zimmerservice mit der Sprühdose durch die Zimmer. Moskitonetze wären sympathischer.

Beautiful property, location and felt like a jungle property.
Pros:

A beautiful property, stunning location, right on the river, and close to many beautiful attractions.

Cons:

I feel they may have been understaffed, so service in the restaurant was, at times, slow.

Pros:

Umístění v krásné přírodě

Cons:

Chátrající hotel s minimálním úklidem. Pokoj nebyl zabezpečený a vybaven moskytiérou. Už bychom nejeli štíry v posteli už opravdu ne.

Todo estuvo ideal.
