A great “jungle” experience!!!

9.0

Felt very safe. Loved the atmosphere, especially the monkeys running around!! Food was great, home cooked meals. Everyone fantastic, friendly and helpful. Very clean.

The only thing would be no air conditioning but I knew that when I booked it. They gave us an extra fan though.

Ich wollte eigentlich nur 5 Tage an diesem wunderschönen Ort bleiben, aber ich wollte nicht mehr weg, also hab ich verlängert. Das Personal war immer für einen da, wenn man etwas benötigte, das Essen war grandios und wirklich mit Liebe zubereitet. Alles war sehr sauber und allein die Natur, in die alles eingebettet ist, ist atemberaubend. Ich werde hierher sicher wieder zurückkommen. Liebes Poor Man‘s Paradise: ich vermisse euch jetzt schon alle. Pura Vida 🙏

Im Paradies. Rundherum nur Natur. Schöne Zimmer mit Veranda. Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal.

Die letzten 400 Meter Anfahrt zur Lodge sind Katastrophe.

Truly a piece of paradise

9.0

Lovely place for those that manage to reach it. Position is fantastic and surrounded by nature. staff is friendly, rooms are basic but clean and spacious. Food was good. We arrived by car and we had to cross 2 rivers, plus the last 200m of road are really difficult. It’s better to park the car earlier and walk the last 200m. Don’t go by car if you don’t have a 4x4.

Pricey for what you get. Bar is only open a few hours per day, and only serves alcohol. I couldn’t get a fruit juice, or a fresh coconut, even though they grow naturally all over the place.
