"Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Not a lot of rooms so it always feels so cozy and calm. Monkeys are everywhere, near your balcony at the pool or even in the trees when you have breakfast. Food is good, even for lunch and dinner everything is homemade and has a unique touch to it. You forget about all the noise around you. Very unique experience."
