Organic farm to table. What more to say. Delicious and healthy. Served on the deck overlooking the river, waterfalls and jungle. Friendly staff that felt like friends rather than staff. Amazing.

Pia United States of America

Gaia was beyond perfect, we loved every single minute there. The staff could not have been any more nice or helpful - they were SO accommodating and made our trip absolutely perfect. The resort was so peaceful and the waterfall area was amazing. The food was fantastic and we truly can't wait to go back.

Clean, well-appointed room; excellent staff and service; no detail overlooked. Absolutely loved hanging out down at the falls and the river—beautiful setting and great layout.

Carla United States of America

The location was incredibly beautiful. Eating breakfast while overlooking a waterfall is something I’ll not soon forget. The staff was very friendly, and the food and cocktails were amazing.

Raphael Canada

This place is beautiful! The location can't be beat. It overlooks some beautiful falls and trails for bird watching and other wildlife. Food and drinks were fantastic and staff was very accommodating and friendly. The cabins are private and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. It was raining quite a bit during the time we stayed but the road was well maintained and we had no problem making it to the resort.

Alayna United States of America

Amazing experience! Staff was incredible and made our whole stay memorable! Beautiful location, there was a day we just spent lounging at Gaia. It was so relaxing

Amanda United States of America
