Noah's Forest by Tifakara

10/10 Excellent

"Noah’s Forest was extraordinary from the moment we stepped on to the property. They’ve really nailed down “taking care of all the details!” The whole property is breathtaking. The grounds were manicured to perfection, the ambiance was serene and magical, and the room was fantastic! More than the visual beauty of the entire property, the thing that made our stay so wonderful was the staff! At the front desk, Cristel was very welcoming and ensured we had everything to start our stay off right, and Adrian and Aaron helped us two separate times to book activities on short notice. The restaurant was also fantastic! Tatiana greeted us each day as friends, Josue was fabulous and we enjoyed learning our daily dose of Spanish from him, Oscar made delicious drinks at the bar and delivered them with a genuine smile, and then on the last day, Steven went above and beyond to prepare us breakfast for the road. I cannot recommend this place enough!"
