The hotel is nestled right in the heart of the lush rainforest, offering amazing trails and activities, although it's not very close to Fortuna. The rooms are spacious and clean but could benefit from a touch of decor to enhance the ambiance. The service was excellent, especially with car hire and shuttle services, however, small toiletries would be a nice addition in the showers. The dining experience offers lots of choices but falls short on yogurt. Overall, a fantastic location for nature lovers seeking adventure.
