Pros:

Muy bonito el entorno.

Cons:

No tenía A/C y el agua caliente era intermitente. Hace falta mejorar en los calentadores. Soy técnico y vi muchas oportunidades de mejora

Un joli moment de tranquillité près du Rio Céleste
Pros:

L’emplacement, une impression de pleine nature tout en étant proche du parc et des activités
Le cadre , un peu hors du temps, avec sa jolie piscine et les animaux tout autour
Petit déjeuner très correct et personnel agréable

Cons:

Pas de table ni de lampe de chevet
L’hôtel propose des activités, nous avons choisi la sortie nocturne qui s’est avérée décevante ( rapport qualité prix ) même si notre guide a fait son max et si on a quand même vu la fameuse grenouille aux yeux rouges
Mais le lieu n’est pas le plus propice

para dormir aqui, coge una hamaca y duerme directamente en la selva
Pros:

el hotel esta cerca de las atracciones por destacar algo

Cons:

El baño de la habitacion era bonito, ya si hubieramos podido utilizarlo seria la leche, habia muchas cosas que no funcionaban, no estaba del todo limpio y tenias que entrar con repelente y machete, todo tipo de fauna y flora y sobre todo bichos de toda clase, fue en el unico sitio que no pudimos dormir, nos pasamos toda la noche evitando todo tipo de bichos, no nos paso en ningun otro sitio de los 14 dias que estuvimos
