9.8/10 Exceptional! (1,007 reviews)
The property is stunning! It’s very private from hustle bustle down the hill so it’s quiet and you feel like you’re IN the rainforest. I saw a howler monkey from my patio! The property is very clean and staff were all very helpful and friendly. Yoga was so nice- outside and covered from rain shower but also up in the trees. Breakfast is great- tons to select with homemade letter eggs and lots of fruit etc. Pool and hot tub were great after all day activities.

The A/C worked great, but whomever slept in the bed closest to it better get an extra blanket. The mattresses are extra firm
