Our stay was fantastic. Beautiful jungle vibe grounds with wild birds and lizards. The staff are so helpful. The breakfast is delicious. The cleaners provided sweet touches you don't often see. It ticked all our boxes as a family for four adults and one 2.5 year old. We traveled during the first week of July and it rained incessantly, but that is the rainy season and there was still plenty to do. They have a huge outdoor game room too, that can be enjoyed rain or shine. Wonderful and exactly what we hoped for for the middle range cost. Thank you!!!

The property was absolutely beautiful, Will maintain, and the staff was wonderful! Even though it’s a large resort, it didn’t feel busy because there are so many little areas, walking paths and Hot Springs to escape to. We will definitely be visiting again! Excellent vacation!

This place is a hidden gem. The food is excellent, the spa services were outstanding and the staff treat you with such kindness you feel you are at home. Having a hot tub on our patio was a plus and the shower is luxurious while feeling like you are outside. Highly recommend if you are looking for a tranquil and eco friendly place to stay.
