Truly one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff are friendly and make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Impeccable service throughout our stay from everyone we had contact with. Attention to detail throughout the hotel and the little touches really made our stay. Rooms are modern and clean - we had a superior room with a jacuzzi on the balcony overlooking the forest. Food was outstanding - both breakfast and in the evening (it was so good we didn’t feel the need to venture out). The night walk was such fun. This hotel is an absolute gem. We would love to go back one day.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we were blown away. This is a gorgeous property with an excellent restaurant. Everyone on staff was amazing (Lucy, Kevin, Hansel, Rey, Jay, Jaimer). The stay was relaxing, the room was comfortable and the food at Bosque restaurant was exceptional. The hotel is located close to many local attractions plus the free frog tour on property every night is a must do. We highly recommend a stay here.

Great place to stay.

The staff were very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. The rooms were spacious, a/c worked well, every thing about the rooms were fantastic. The pool was small. However the frog tour and bird watching (even if you’re not an enthusiast) is amazing. Lucy was a great tour guide.
