10/10 Excellent
"Amazing stay for three nights. Wonderful, natural area. Also nice and quiet, not loud or pretentious. Rooms are comfortable and have great air conditioning. The shower was incredible, best yet on my Guatamala travels. Lovely pool and very polite service from the waiters and front desk. I was very much impressed by the area, stunning natural beauty and so much wildlife to be seen, including crocodilea and turtles in the lake. If I was to suggest one thing, it would be drinking water facilities in the rooms or perhaps a reception area. But the bar staff were happy to fill out bottles from the bar. Highly recommend this place if you love natural beauty and nature. Food was also good. Oh and definitely recommend taking the mountain bikes out on the trails, not for the faint of heart though, bring lots of water!"
