This place is the horror movie plot of the century. This place shouldn't be offered to any human being. This place is literally a light house. Scary!! The place has no wifi as they promise? No cable tv, it has dvd player for tv entertainment. It has no AC or heating, it has no hot water, the bed is as hard ad the floor, no sheets. The room smells like human waste. There is no attendant on site. you have to communicate with owner via phone, and its hard to connect if you need to contact him. The place is just not suitable for human habitation. I ended up sleeping and sleeping in my van i did. It was scary, so hot, and I had to sleep with the glass doors open, i decided to just leave. Do not even think coming to this place. You will regret it for ever, i have stayed at poor maintenance hotels, but this takes the gold medal. Oh on top of that, to check in and out, you have to contact the owner and wait fir him to come, he rided in a taxi,, beyond horrific experience. Then the owner ask for 100 dollars deposit.. its best to slerp in a jungle than here. Not safe at all.

I was unaware that I needed $100 cash deposit. Prior to arriving I had been communicating with Christian, as I wished to cancel my reservation because I couldn't reach anyone to ask questions the day before heading there. Christian got in touch via email and informed me that they had security, etc (it's off to it's self) and we communicated about me not canceling my reservation. When I arrived, I was informed that my reservation had been canceled. I arrived at 1245, had to cancel my excursions because the next room wouldn't be ready until 4ish. The room was ready right before 6 and I wasted a whole day in taxis and waiting. Clinton, the staff at the hotel was very accommodating and nice. He negotiated taxi rates, etc for me because I had been in and out of the taxis all day.

The property at the last minute could not accept credit card payments, and since my ATM didn't work in this country and I was on my last two days, I couldn't afford to pay with the little cash that I had left for the trip, so I was unable to stay at the hotel and had to scramble for a new hotel that accepted credit cards and I had no internet connection so I had to look for hotel without internet and on short notice..
