Reviews and Ratings
I was so thrilled with this hotel's location, nestled right by the river and offering a plethora of exciting activities, while also having a cozy common area. The rooms were basic but provided everything I needed for a good night's rest. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, and the absence of air conditioning was a drawback.
The hotel is hidden in the jungle by the Rio Dulce river, offering a unique and beautiful experience. The rooms are basic but have private bathrooms and electric fans, ensuring a comfortable stay. The service is attentive and helpful, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere. However, the dining options are limited, and the facilities could use some improvement.
Tucked away by the Rio Dulce river hidden in the jungle, this hotel offers a serene escape with its beautiful location and friendly staff. The rooms are on the water, providing a unique experience, but lacking air conditioning. While the dining options are limited to fried rice, the overall value for money is decent considering the natural surroundings.
