"Wonderful place with birds and wildlife."

7.0

We stayed 5 nights, location was great in a wonderful environment, and food was good. Some dishes were excellent.

Mattresses are old and cleaning staff didn’t lock patio doors after cleaning the room. Tours are quite pricey!

"OK für den, der es einfach will."

3.0

Die Unterkunft entspricht den Erwartungen einer Eco- Lodge. Einfach und vermittelt ein Sicherheitsgefühl

Die Zimmer liegen aufgereiht nebeneinander. Zugang über eine Aussenveranda. Da die Zimmer klein sind, ergibt sich das Gefühl, dass vorbeigehende Menschen quasi im Zimmer vorbeigehen. Schallisolierungen sind gar nicht vorhanden.

"Un lugar espectacular pero que debe evitar las reservas privadas o informar al resto de ellas"

8.0

El hotel se encuentra un poco apartado de todo, básicamente es un alojamiento para observadores de aves y fotógrafos. El lugar es espectacular para fotografiar aves y te permite realizar diferentes tours desde los alrededores. El personal es muy amable y el lugar en sí es un paraíso rodeado de naturaleza. Tiene comedor donde puedes realizar todas las comidas aunque en mi opinión la variedad de la comida es un poco limitada.

Se fotografía desde el comedor, donde se encuentra una percha principal que cambian a diario y donde acuden multitud de aves. El problema se encuentra en que el mejor espacio justo delante de la percha se puede reservar para grupos privados de fotógrafos ya sea que se alojan en el hotel o que vienen de fuera. Es decir, tu pagas por un alojamiento para quedarte en el hotel y te sientes "apartado" porque no puedes utilizar determinadas zonas porque se han reservado para en mi caso un grupo de fotógrafos americanos que no quieren tener a nadie al lado. El hotel no avisa en ese sentido, es decir, no te contacta previamente para avisarte que durante tu estancia la zona va a estar reservada para un grupo. Por las quejas que han recibido al respecto han instalado una segunda percha en otro lateral del comedor pero que no se cambia a diario ni tiene tanta afluencia de aves como la principal. En mi opinión este es un problema muy grande del alojamiento ya que debe darle prioridad a las personas que se estén alojando en el propio hotel y evitar o informar previamente sobre estas reservas ya que por eso mismo lo eligen. En mi caso, si me hubieran dicho que esa zona iba a estar reservada hubiera buscado otro alojamiento.

The place is clean; the meals are good; the grounds are beautiful and there are wildlife to see, including coati, agouti, and alligstor, and of course many beautiful birds. Our trip was about dragonflies and we found some nice ones there. Staff are nice and helpful!

The room doesn't have a fridge or kettle and also I wish the room a bit bigger.
