This resort was absolute breathtaking and peaceful. This was our first stay (wife and I) and it was very relaxing. The resort offers a variety of nature experiences but we spent time admiring the beautiful scenery, pool and jacuzzi around the resort. Our room was a king with a river view. Great A/C and Our clean room and bathroom was spacious with an outside bathtub and shower. Also we spent time on our a spacious balcony. We enjoyed our dining experience; as well as the room service for our delicious meals. There was no television because it’s about getting back to nature which was much needed. All the staff we encountered were professional and kind; eager to assist you. Definitely will visit again! Thank you!!!!

The accomodation was perfectly taken care of; surroundings at the hotel as well. The pool was nice, but is in the afternoon in the shadow, and has too little sunbeds to provide a bed for all hotel guests. The restaurant was good.

Clean comfortable room, AC worked perfectly. Wifi worked all around the main areas (room, restaurant, pool, and closer grounds). Pool is open 24 hours and we were often the only ones there. Restaurant was delicious, breakfast was our favorite. Wood fired pizzas were good and ready quickly. The menu is not expansive although there is a daily special each night. We spent less than $75 per person per day on 3 meals. Onsite parking was plentiful, drive from airport to resort is easy and 100% paved. Staff was very friendly and often engaged in conversation depending on our days events. Did the onsite bird watching tour ($35US pp, min 2, super cheap) which we were told was 90 minutes but went 2 hours and even got a van ride back for breakfast. Bikes available to use on property, the trail is more work going away from the lodging than coming back which works nice when tired. Highly recommend this property. The only minor negative is vehicle noise from the main road and even that is not a constant thing.
