Amazing lodge

"The lodge was amazing and saw lots of animals in the grounds. We saw sloths most days and were woken every morning by the howler monkeys, amazing. The breakfast was tea/coffee juice, fresh fruit, toast and eggs, The lodge is near the jaguar rescue centre, the Aru macaw centre lots of beaches, Please be careful of the Tuk Tuk driver 666150 we agreed a price for 3 stop trip we went of it many times he did 2 but wanted extra money for the last stop, the only disappointing part of this amazing holiday."

Very tropical in its atmosphere

"A really lovely traditional hotel. All the accommodation is in individual thatched cottages which are dotted the dense tropical foliage. Although the climate is hot, the rooms are adequately cooled by central ceiling fans, both quiet and very effective. Not something to put you of. There is a very nice bar, open to the attractive tropical planting. The cocktails are tops and the restaurant food very good indeed. A very lazy feel to the whole place. The staff are all excellent and ready to converse with their visitors. An early start on our final day resulted in the kitchen manager laying out some fruit and drink for us to start the day. Much appreciated."
