The room was lovely and clean with a beautiful mountain view. Plumbing wasn’t that great as we heard the toilet being flushed every time above us. Some staff members were extremely nice, others were extremely rude. The tracks are lovely and the national park is full of wildlife. Dining options were limited, and the ones offered were extremely expensive.

This is a beautiful lodge in the rainforest. Just a gorgeous setting with vivid bird life. We kind of bumped into this property by accident and regret that we couldn’t stay longer. There is so much to do that we didn’t have time for. Highly recommended as a destination and we would certainly recommend staying for several days if you can.

Great accomodation but there was no liquid detergent for washing up dishes and no broom. I did ask staff for some detergent but there was none available. It makes it a little difficult to clean fry pans and wipe down counters. But other wise a wonderful short holiday!
