Pros:

No need to join tour. We saw sloths, monkey, birds, fish and other local wildlife on the property as it backs into the forest. It is an ecolodge and back to the basics. No Tv, no AC. We enjoyed the nature, wild life and the peaceful beautiful surrounding. Value for price especially if you go during the dry season. It can get very humid and wet there

Nice place for stop over. Middle of jungle. Put hangers up and maybe mini fridge.
Pros:

The private unit with hammock. Breakfast and staff.

Cons:

The reviews say it. No where to hang anything, bathroom needs updating but it’s fine. One hammock.

Cons:

Abbiamo soggiornato una notte in questa struttura. Abbiamo preso una camera familiare . Purtroppo era la prima proprio davanti al parcheggio per cui nulla a che vedere con tutte le altre posizionate lungo il percorso immerso nella natura.La camera era bella grande ma tenuta male, per non parlare di bagno. Inoltre su booking si vedono foto di un ristorantino carino dove però servono solo la colazione. Se vuoi cenare devi arrivare fino alla fine del percorso, di sera molto buio e ti ritrovi in un ristorante di uno squallore unico. Piscina carina ma nulla di che. Sicuramente da rinnovare .
