The property itself is very nice, well kept grounds, decent food, plenty of seating. The room AC is set at 22 so I asked to have it lowered to 19 it was lowered but in no way was it working correctly. I lowered more to 16, still felt like 22 in the room. The shower temperature can fluctuate quickly from excruciatingly hot to very cold. DO NOT LEAVE KIDS IN THERE THEY MAY GET HURT. The water machine on our floor was t working. On top of that they lure you into a presentation to sell you a package membership in their ‘Club’. It took over two hours. And went from 159k US for a house to the cheapest package for 20k US. Don’t waste your time you’ll miss out on getting a good sitting spot by the pool!

This is my 2nd stay on this property. It has changed since my 1st. The most remarkable is the wildlife on the property is amazing. Many Caotis, Flamingos, Neutra looking rodents, tortoise, and Peacocks. I learned they caged the howling monkeys. Didn't see any this time but occasionally heard them, unlike last time I saw them a great deal during my stay.. Did see a couple spider monkeys. I enjoyed the monkeys most.
