The cabins were good, and everything you’d expect for a cabin, except it’s very very loud with the tin roof when it rains. The food at the restaurant was delicious and the staff were very friendly . The property was very nice.

This beautiful location is a must!

Absolutely stunning property in the middle of the forest! This location is a must. You are surrounded by nature and all you hear day and night is the rushing of the river. Every single staff member there was very friendly and helpful. Cabins are spacious and include a kitchenette in them. Day activities were easy to schedule. Ziplining was fantastic here, highly recommended!

Beautifully enjoyable and rustic

The area was beautiful, the amenities great and the cabin was very nice. There were a couple of things that made the stay less comfortable than it should have been. 1. There was not kleenex nor paper towels and the toilet paper was so thin it basically fell apart as you pulled it off the roll. It made any kind of wiping (either of body parts or of cleaning) hard to do. We did not want to use the towels/hand towels for those things - and did not have the number of towels we would have needed to do that anyway. 2. There were no top sheets on the beds, only a spread. There was one top sheet in the closet, but our son was with us, so we needed two. All in all it was a good place to stay and the area was great! Being from the US, we probably won't visit again because we like to experience different cultures and countries each time we vacation.

Clean and comfortable

As soon as I mentioned to the front desk that I preferred to have a fridge a small one was delivered to my room. Room has a safe, desk, and comfortable clothing storage. Everything was clean and the cleaners available throughout the day. Unfortunately none of the rooms have windows that can be opened so there is always the a/c smell.

Mal organisée

C’est la réception de II n’est pas du tout organisée. Trop tôt d’une demie heure pour la clef. On nous a fait attendre pour l’avoir dans le stationnement mais une heure plus tard, toujours rien. On est allés voir une employée qui nous a envoyés « la bas » en espagnol pour notre chambre. On a cherché avec allers retours la chambre qui n’avait pas de numéro de porte et qui n’était pas en ordre chronologique en montant et descendant une pente très abrupte au risque de briser le jeep. Pas de wifi. Une fois trouvée, c’était bien au niveau confort et piscines.

If I had been paying less I would have given higher rating. But for the price I paid over New Years, it was not the best value. Cabins have tin roofs that are very loud when it rains, and without a solid structure and no windows, you can hear every sound from cabins next door. Still was charming and staff was very friendly.

C'est très nature ce qui est très plaisant, plusieurs activités sur place. Par contre pas très propre et si il pleut durant la nuit, le toit en tôle se transformera en tambour, nuit blanche assuré... Mais le cachet de l'endroit fait son effet.
