Beautiful place, such a special experience

Fabulous stay in a treehouse and very well organzied tours

Pros: We really liked our stay in the treehouse! We had a little river flowing under our treehouse, which gave an amazing soothing effect and we slept really well. We were particularly impressed with the guides on the tubing tour - very hard working and responsible. Dont hestitate to use them!

Cons: Maybe for 3 people our treehouse was a little small and the sofabed not the most comfortable

Ganit 8/10

Pros: Right on the river where you can swim, soft bed - if you like it, good hot shower. We took the tubing tour and it exceeded our expectations even though the river was on the low side - the guide was really sweat and we had a lot of fun!

Cons: We got the room next to the restaurant so it was noisy. Room was basic and we were disappointed it didn't have a nice view as you could expect from photos. Other rooms are better located, but all or many of them only have a small porch with nothing on it. Hammocks and sofas are only available in the common area.

Peaceful cabin in a remote location but with dinner on site by the river

Pros: Beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting with the river a 10 minute walk away. Very peaceful with lots of birds and cows near by. The room and bathroom were large and we had a balcony with a beautiful wooden bench and table. The bed was massive. The staff at the restaurant was lovely abd nade us snacks outside of the menu. Steak was excellent. We did the tubing which was excellent. I felt very safe thanks to the very enthusiastic and professional guides. They were totally brilliant. They had 5 guides in front at the back and in the middle and they ran and jumped in the water to make sure we did not get stuck and passed the rapids safely.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The seclusion but still close to the area interest points. Quite and lots of nature. The restaurant had great food. The staff and Andy were fun and friendly. Andy went out of his way to help us. Internet was strong when needed. Common sitting area was perfect.

Cons: Walkways could use some maintenance

Lovely quiet location on a treehouse

Pros: Tree house was gorgeous with a hammock and privacy. Quick walk to Rio Celeste with its beautiful water for swimming. Breakfast was lovely with different options to choose from. Could pick what time we wanted to have it and was very tasty on a beautiful setting.
