We just got back from this destination. Although the road was rough getting there (literally) it was well worth it! The staff and service was fantastic, I cannot express how good the food was. Had a very nice body scrub in the spa which felt amazing. We went during the "rainy season" athough it did not rain at all, so... More

Bar none this has to be the most unique experience in any hotel in the country. We were pleasantly surprised to find the old fashion clay style fireplaces inside both of our "casitas". The beds were dreamy and as a result we found ourselves nearly sleeping through the included breakfast. The staff - from waiters to tour guides - were... More

I traveled here during the rainy season, and loved it. Spent 3 nights here, and that was just right. It was sunny during the mornings and cloudy and rainy during the late afternoon and night. So in the mornings we went hiking and horseback riding. When the thunder rolled in, it was very loud and surreal. Getting cozy in the... More

This resort is beautiful. The rooms were spacious and comfy. And the massage was awesome. I would definitely stay here again. The live rabbits and parrots added the right touch to staying in this paradise. The fresh fruit at breakfast was delicious.
