"If you want to experience paradise - book a stay."

10.0

Our stay at this property could not have been any better. The accommodations were fantastic. The beds very comfortable, the food was delicious. The location was incredible - but most of all - the staff made our stay exceptional! Our host Cynthia the first day was a delight. She was very welcoming and kind. The next day, we were greeted by Bonny who was equally delightful. Bonny helped us arrange some day-trips at some locations nearby such as a river tour and a tour of a wildlife rehabilitation facility. She was so helpful. Bonny and Cynthia were the best. In addition to these ladies, all of the staff there was so kind and considerate of our needs. All of my travel companions were very happy. If I could give 100 stars I would.

There was nothing we did not like.
