“Relaxing”

The reviews I had read were mixed. We arrived around 3 tomorrow a very warm welcome. Our room was #8 in Jaguar. It was not 5 stars, but very clean with good a/c and an awesome shower.

The reviews I had read were mixed. We arrived around 3 tomorrow a very warm welcome. Our room was #8 in Jaguar. It was not 5 stars, but very clean with good a/c and an awesome shower. Bed was creaky, but we slept well. The grounds were beautifully manicured. The pool was inviting. Food was good, but options are limited. The tenderloin I had was one of the best ever….for the money unbeatable! Hamburger was a 10! Grilled fish…tasty. All the servers were smiling and anxious to please. We will go back next year for 3 more relaxing days

The patio overlooking the pool is a fabulous place to watch wildlife. We saw a variety of birds and lizards. The rooms are spacious and unique. The entire staff were friendly and accommodating. We took the nighttime jungle tour at the lodge next door. It was incredible. We saw so many wonderful reptiles and animals. A sloth, a hummingbird in its nest, an anteater, a kinkajou, several tarantulas and frogs, and more!

Another good rainforest lodge in lovely surroundings. The pool area at the rear is a real highlight and is in a beautiful natural setting with stunning wildlife all around. A delightful place to sit and wait for the beautiful birds to turn up. You also see small lizards and colourful iguanas. The main building is focused for seated dining and also has a cosy bar off one of the seating areas. There is plenty of places to sit for drinks in the evening too. The site has a number of short nature walks to enjoy as well as an archeological site to walk to. It is essentially joined to another lodge hotel by an open gate, which means you can visit the nature reserve and try out a number of their treks into the rainforest to see incredible species. The lodge rooms are all in a series of thatched circular buildings. The room I had was very big and had a great big comfy bed. The air con and fan are great for hot nights. The bathroom is simple and nothing special but ok and clean and did have a great refreshing shower. The rooms are all close to the sound of nature so expect a dawn chorus of birds and bellowing monkeys. You can book trips from here too for other nature excursions nearby. Staff are great. Really helpful and friendly. Great job to all concerned when I stayed.

“Best to Avoid”

This may have been a spectacular place in the past. But now it’s dingy and vastly overrated. Yes, the location and grounds are excellent. Lots of wildlife and jungle.

This may have been a spectacular place in the past. But now it’s dingy and vastly overrated. Yes, the location and grounds are excellent. Lots of wildlife and jungle. But the mattress was very uncomfortable, bathroom was tiny and spartan, and if you want fresh air the only option is opening the porch doors and see the other guests as they walk to/from their rooms. For a self-described green facility, why no screened window? But the restaurant is the worst. The menus never change. Although the ingredients seemed fresh, preparation is fair at best and extraordinarily devoid of flavor. No other options close by so you’re captive to this restaurant. The very worst cocktails imaginable. Staff is very friendly and helpful. But the owner knows the place is a money machine.
