This hotel is tucked away from the town but feels like a little resort. The wading pool was refreshing with views of monkeys above in the trees. The food was quite good.
A very negative point. The internet was not available in the rooms and there was a strong smell of damp. On the positive side, the staff was very friendly and the breakfast was very good.

They have bugs in the rooms. Very scary. My room was upgraded but bugs in the rooms. Spiders, ants and even a centipede.
Staff is really nice though.
But try avoiding staying here due to bugs..
The stay was great, I had a blast with my family and the rooms were comfy, although I do have to point out that my Villa had an issue with one of the doors, the lock that should've kept one of the doors close was broken or something, thing is, it was open. Thankfully the villa had 2 bedrooms that coud be locked from the inside, but it is a downside.
Pool is dirty with algae and tree bark, also not operable unless they see guest using it. I believe this doesn’t save money because the cleanliness of the pool depends on motors running at all times. I was there for the Christmas break, they should’ve cleaned the pool throughly.
The walls on the building need repair and paint, again sad sight to see during Christmas/new years break.
No decor of the season. I know that’s not mandatory but people do go there for “the holidays”
WiFi is basically non existent in the rooms and it’s important because of work and obviously no cellular services reaches because of the rural area, only (3G) at times. At least on the back end of the property.
The doors are in decay and the locks make me think anyone can just bust through the entrance.
Little to no furniture in the rooms more than a night stand so it sucks that we have to live out of a backpack 🎒 lounges (we are here for 4 days)
No furniture in the shower so nowhere to store your hygiene supplies. Again living out of bags and backpacks although we were there 4 days is extremely inconvenient.
The sole TV is in the living room and it’s 20” (table size) but mounted high on the wall.
The only amazing this about this place is the Mini Split Air Conditioners, they made our sleep schedule like babies.

Very nice but note that you have to cross a river to get there specially when it rains recomend to have a 4x4, it’s close to the town in car too far to go walking. and if you’re an early bird you won’t be able to drink coffee or anything before 8 Am which was an inconvenience for us since we were awake early. Also if you want to check out or leave before 7:30 AM you have to let them know ahead of time because there’s only the security guard and he’s not allowed to let anybody go before the receptionist gets there to make sure you don’t have any bills pending at the restaurant or any charges pending. The beds are very uncomfortable and sounds like it’s going to break but it’s affordable price the pool was clean and it’s not that deep perfect for kids
The facility is not too bad. Quite and pleasant. It’s just a bit too far from the city. Also, you have to cross a river and there is no bridge. If you take a taxi it may not take you all the way to the ranch if it rains or rained days before and the river water is too high. Not bad for the cost value per night of stay.
Friendly staff.
I paid $150 a night, and the room didn’t have towels, soap, shampoo, and the TV cable didn’t work. The parking space was limited, and they knocked on my door at 7 am to move my car so other people could get out.

Checking in bad!
I hate the fact that when checking in they say hotels.com is not reliable and that the booking does not exist. I always had to argue about my booking but it ended up working at the end but it’s so annoy
