My stay in the rainforest was truly an incredible experience! The spacious rooms had abundant natural light and were directly nestled in the lush surroundings. Dining at the restaurant was a highlight, with every meal beautifully presented and the flavors were exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to provide wonderful service, but I wish the prices were a bit more accessible for longer stays.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location is absolutely stunning, immersed in the lush rainforest, and the spa treatments were incredible. However, the dining experience left much to be desired as the food was not good, and the noise from construction was quite disruptive, which impacted my relaxation time.

I had a lovely stay at the ecolodge, surrounded by beautiful gardens and delicious food. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, which made my experience enjoyable. However, I found the pricing quite high for what was offered, and the dining options became limited after a few nights. The pool area could use some improvements too. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but I would recommend staying for just a couple of nights to fully enjoy the atmosphere without feeling repetitive.

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at the lodge nestled in the rainforest. The separate huts offered a unique and peaceful retreat surrounded by lush gardens and impeccable service. The dining experience was excellent, albeit at a slower pace and with a limited menu. The rooms, while clean and charming, felt a bit basic for the price we paid, but the overall experience left me feeling rejuvenated.

The Ecolodge is nestled in a stunning rainforest setting, offering a truly peaceful getaway. While the rooms come with a beautiful view and are generally well maintained, some areas do need an upgrade. The dining experience is fantastic with great food choices, but the menu could offer more variety. Service was friendly and helpful, although there were moments where staff engagement could be improved. The pricing feels steep for some aspects, particularly with the need for better facilities like a well-heated pool and better Wi-Fi access.
