This is a beautiful property and the staff were wonderful. The dining on the property was really good as well. You can book all excursions through them. Drinkable tap water was nice. Beautiful rooms and property. Please keep in mind you are in the jungle so big beetles/bugs can make it into your room. You Also can be woken up in the middle of night by loud animal noises. I thought it made the experience pretty cool but it did freak me out the first time. Would recommend and stay here again.

This property deserves its high ratings. Staff is exceptional. The good and slightly inconvenient issue with the property is its location. In good side, you really feel like you are in the jungle and river views are spectacular. The downside is the property is a short drive outside town so no walking to town or getting a quick taxi. Need to plan activities ahead.

Silvia, the front desk concierge/manager/person in charge (I'm not sure what her exact title was), did a fantastic job arranging out daily outings and customizing it to meet our requests and giving her recommendation to make out 4 night stay for our family of four memorable. The dining staff made special arrangements to make my daughters birthday special, it was a great surprise for all of us.
