"Beautiful place. Away from the hustle of town. It was off season when we were there so it was very quiet. Restaurant was only open for breakfast and lunch. Pool was awesome. Lots of stuff to do during the day in the area and then head back for a relaxing evening. Monkeys would visit most afternoons. My daughter loved the resident cats and guard dog. The animals were as friendly as the staff. Thinking about bringing more family next year."

There are plenty of birds to watch, the Scarlet Macaws are beautiful…..and noisy! The pool was also a highlight and was not cold. The house has everything you need to make your stay comfortable.
