This place was beautiful. The rooms are lovely and huge. There's the best staff. Katherine, Josue, Ismael and Jennifer were so wonderful. There's nothing they won't do to make you happy. The pool and grounds are beautiful. The food has many breakfast and dinner selections and lunch can be out by the pool or in the dining room. There are toucans and monkeys and sloth there. The monkeys visited one day at breakfast they kept popping their head down to say hello.

Amazing experience. The staff was always super welcoming and nice. The room was beautiful and cleaned daily. The property is only a few minutes from the Rio Celeste Waterfall and the river is right in the backyard of this hotel which makes it super unique. Highly recommend.
