It was such a treat for my birthday getting to spend a full 8 days alongside my husband in this beautiful jungle oasis, filled with meaningful and spiritual conversations, cuddles with the community of loving and therapeutic pets, and lots of laughs. This really is a retreat and sanctuary for the people who embrace it as such, providing a welcome escape from daily distractions and positive healing energy...
"It was one of my best stays in all of my travels and vacations in the past few years. I originally only planned one night but stayed one more night. The view from the guesthouse’s lanai is incredibly beautiful and the guesthouse was well-designed and decorated with heart. The room was clean. Most importantly, the staffs welcomed me like a friend.
