Beautiful hotel in the middle of a natural preserve. With lots of beautiful birds, hiking trails and nature all around. If you want to disconnect from the rush of the city, this is definitely the place to stay in.

Super nuit dans un lieu magnifique. Nous avons profité de dizaines de colibris. Petit point négatif : Nous avons été surpris de se voir facturer un café en supplément pour le dîner et le petit déjeuner
