Everything about this place was amazing. Food service room etc. The property has it all. I did 4 stars because we couldn’t to river rafting but that had nothing to do with the hotel and everything to do with the weather. I highly recommend it here.

First, Daniela, the concierge who handled a few communications via email/messaging was amazing, as were all the individuals we were lucky enough to interact with during our stay. Special call out to the restaurant staff, massage team, and yoga instructor. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, flush with vegetation and wildlife (esp. monkeys) in abundance. We were a bit caught off guard with the outside showers in the central bungalows, which were fine once we got over it, though they could’ve been a bit cleaner. All bungalows are tucked into the foliage so you definitely get a sense of wonderful isolation and peaceful tranquillity. The thermal river is amazing and the associated hike to and along the water is great, with tons of opportunity to soak in the water and spend many hours enjoying the day.

Beautiful setting in the middle of nature with great variety if wildlife and activities on premises. Not quiet, as at night all animals come alive, but for us the jungle noises and rain were super relaxing. Excellent service and food. Ownership truly cares about the environment and growing this ecosystem. Fantastic! One of a kind!
