"Beautiful boutique property. So private in the rainforest with a beautiful beach where we didn’t see a single person all day. The staff is wonderful and the food was delicious. They do a 3 course meal every night for dinner and a lovely breakfast every morning. The staff’s little surprises throughout our stay made it special, such as filling our tub with flower petals while we were on an excursion or setting up a private breakfast by the beach one morning.
