The property is very average for the price paid. The location is nice and close to visit blue water park. And it has its own little hiking trail and access to the river. That is very nice. The service was average. No explanation of anything.

We had a fantastic four night stay here. The rooms are huge but a little rustic. However, the rest was excellent. Great restaurant, awesome food, very friendly and capable staff throughout, nice spa, modern gym, lovely little coffee shop, etc. Some great wildlife around as well. An absolute gem in the middle of a rain forest.
