This lodge is exceptional. The staff here make you feel comfortable and well cared for. The game drives are well organized and incredibly eye-opening. I couldn’t recommend this place more. My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights and it is now near the top of our most memorable experiences. I have to commend one person in particular however. If you get a guide named Petrus, you will not only get a knowledgeable and passionate guide, but you will also spend time with an exceptional human. From his commitment to customer service, to his willingness to connect on a personal level with his guests. We thank him from the bottom of our hearts for making every game drive feel like the best experience.

Cute boutique. Lobby smelled great. Jug of ice cold water flavored with lemon or cucumbers or strawberries, nice touch. Great decor. Staff friendly and receptive and helpful. The room although small had great windows, view of golf course. Terrace view of ocean. Shower very hot which was outstanding. . Thin walls could hear shower next door. Terrace close together could smell smoke from room next door. Would prefer no smoking Period.
