A fantastic place to spend a night, we wish we had stayed for two or three to spend more time exploring. The staff are incredibly helpful and there is so much to explore on foot, by bike/horseback, and by car. We had an amazing trip with our kids and hope to come back again soon!

We stayed in the hotel just one night and that was enough to see everything, but if you want to do more activities like rafting, zipline, or horseback riding I would stay for more days. The nature is all around the property, beautiful exotic gardens and lots of animals to spot. You need to try their products for hair that’s coms from their spa, hands down. I wish they had online shop I would be their regular customer.
