Awesome secluded spot in the jungle. Walking distance to the National Park with a nice trail. Rooms were rustic but very cool. Nice ambiance surrounding the entire place with a great layout and nice pool. The restaurant on site was great too.

It's a pretty basic hotel. Excellent location, in the rainforest and pretty close to the archeological site. I'd give a better review but smoking is allowed in the property. The smoke goes through the screen of the open windows. If you don't smoke, you can have pretty close smokers and noisy, neighbors. The staff left hand soap bar only once during our stay.

The garden and surrounding at the property is beautiful but the cabin was really dirty and old. It looks like the owner has not changed or buy anything for many many years. Also when I booked, I asked for 2 bedrooms and got a 3 bedroom cabin and we didn’t know we have to share one.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I dont like that they restrict the guests from enjoying a drink in their own balcony. They charge for enjoying your own drink while you enjoy the view. One has to be confined in their little room with no tables inside. Why bother then staying in beautiful forest if you cannot enjoy it? The cabins are ok, but uncomfortable for socializing inside.
