This property is very relaxed and welcoming. The staff are highly attentive and really take care of you while you are on site. The addition of the animal sanctuary makes it a very eco-friendly destination. We stayed for one week during which the surrounding jungle and wildlife were the stars of the show.

Very nice hotel, excellent food and great staff. We very much enjoyed staying at the hotel and will definitely return. The villas are excellent with a lot of space and great views. My only recommendation would be to add air conditioning in the living room/kitchen.
