Cons:

Non c'era acqua calda, una volta avvisata la struttura è stato detto che c'era senza nemmeno venire a vedere. Ovviamente l'acqua era fredda

Ein kleines, feines Juwel für einen Kurtaufenthalt
Pros:

Es war sehr angenehm im eigenen Bungalow und das Essen war sehr fein und immer frisch gekocht. Die Hunde der Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und verschmust. Die Besitzer waren sehr zuvorkommend.

Cons:

In der Dusche gab es kein Wasserdruck, vor allem wenn man ein wenig warmes Wasser wollte.

Un coin de paradis... mais pas pour nous
Pros:

Superbe jardin tropical. Famille très sympathique.

Cons:

Très isolé, aucune possibilité de balade à proximité immédiate et les tours proposés sont trop chers. Sans voiture, pas grand chose à faire. Chambre petite sans TV ni internet.

We enjoyed our stay and would go back.
Pros:

Loved the abundant vegetation, real jungle feel, the monkeys were nice to look at. the home made lasagna was delicious and the staff went out of their way to serve us. Breakfast was very good and copious.

Cons:

Cabin was a little small for comfort and the noise from the nearby highway was pretty bad at times, took away from the magic surrounding. The pool is not easy to get out of, very big step for bad knees.

Déception pour cette nuit
Pros:

Beau jardin plein d'oiseaux, Max est de bon conseil. Jolie piscine.

Cons:

Bungalow assez jolis mais sombres, petits, humides, odeur de moisissure, pas de climatisation fonctionnelle (malgré 2 demandes successives), ventilateur qui fonctionnait très mal, pas d'eau chaude. Très mal dormi. On entend l'autoroute située à 500 m continuellement.

Diner très bon, mais 18 dollars pour un plat d'une petite portion de poisson c'est trop cher.

Petit déjeuner convenable sans plus.

Les singes (visibles) sont dans un enclos.

Globalement le prix est trop élevé pour le tout.

Decepción
Pros:

La cama con la mosquitera y la selva

Cons:

La cena son 18 dólares un plato bastante pequeño de arroz con pollo. Teniendo en cuenta que no hay alternativas en las inmediaciones nos pareció un poco abusivo.
En cuanto a la habitación, una cosa es que sea una cabaña, y otra diferente que eso signifique que las cosas estén viejas, sucias o mal cuidadas. Por el precio y las reseñas pensamos que iba a ser algo especial y no lo fue en absoluto.
El trato de los dueños fue distante, nada destacable.

Not worthwhile.
Pros:

Unfortunately the Monkey Lodge is not a jungle lodge nor even a decent place to stay. Located next to the highway, one hears traffic day and night. It is a kind of large green garden with wooden cabins. The hotel has no infrastructure, doesn’t serve lunch and with a kind of zoo area, where some monkeys are helt. Excursions are standard, offered by the local tourist services. No need to stay at this lodge for them. Not worth it.

Cons:

Almost everything.

Paradisíaca
Pros:

Es un lugar paradisiaco desde que llegas la atención es excelente, las habitaciones son muy cómodas, cuando nadas en la piscina te sientes conectado con la naturaleza. Además que ofrecen los mejores tours llenos de aventura y comodidad. Sin duda es un lugar que volvería muchas veces. Gracias a todo el personal del hotel por su excelente servicio y por brindarme una estadía perfecta, nos vemos pronto
