"Everything was amazing at The Hideaway, from the beautiful room to the absolutely breathtaking property and the wonderful staff. We had such a memorable experience here we will never forget. We did the night walk and saw birds, snakes and red eyed frogs! The food was amazing for dinner at each restaurant, and the breakfast was incredible. Don’t hesitate to book here, you will be lucky to enjoy this wonderful environment. "
