Great location. Modest luxury in the middle of the jungle with abundant wildlife. Staff were mostly from the surrounding area and were gracious and proud of their community and efforts to maintain sustainable tourism.

location, pillows which were exceptionally comfortable . kayak tour was the highlight

Fabulous location, excellent service from friendly staff, great food…basically everything was great.

Location, facilities and garden are very relaxing, room is very nice, clean, spacey, well maintained, watched butterflies, birds, monkeys, iguanas close up, boat excursion and other activities are worth the trip. Food is very good and fresh, staff are great, enjoyed fresh coconut from the tree. Overall service is excellent.

This hotel is a hidden gem! Paradise in the middle of nowhere. Definitely one of the best hotel experiences we ever have had. We hope to return one day!
