8.6/10 Excellent! (40 reviews)
We stayed in one of the bungalows with the hanging net and absolutely loved it! The bungalow was beautiful, cozy and surrounded by nature, and the hanging net quickly became our favorite place to relax.
We traveled with our pet, who is basically our son 😂, and I cannot say enough about how wonderfully the staff treated him. They treated him like an absolute king! It meant so much to us to stay somewhere that didn’t just accept him, but genuinely made him feel welcome.
The entire team was warm, thoughtful and incredibly attentive throughout our stay. We felt at home from the moment we arrived. Such a beautiful and unique place.

10000/10 Javier was a wonderful host, would highly recommend. He was very accommodating, very helpful with local suggestions. We had issues finding the location, he even went to go find us. Absolutely wonderful experience. The dome was one of the coolest experiences we’ve had yet.

Property is built so beautifully within the vegetation and trees. We received two rooms apartment (like two entire flats one on top of the other, with 2 bathrooms, which was very convenient with two teenagers) - which was very fine furnished, cosy, clean, and maintained. From our balconies we could watch the birds and so many cute Caoties. Breakfast was delicious, as well as lunch and dinner that we have decided to have in the hotel. Chef is excellent!! Very nice and welcoming staff. We really enjoyed staying at the hotel. Very recommended

"Un lugar espectacular para vacacionar. Tranquilo, muy bien equipado, hermosa vista. Sólo que se debe mejorar las indicaciones para llegar, la indicación no es tan precisa las aplicaciones pueden llevarte por un camino más corto pero intransitable para vehículos sencillos."
