Jose makes you fell at home the moment you arrive. He will go out of his way to make you feel comfortable. The rooms itself is very basic, very clean, and rustic- hence the rustic lodge.

Excellent value, excellent staff (nothing is too much trouble for Jose, ask him for the tea made out of the flowers in the garden) and a loveley, huge and incredibly clean and pretty room. We even saw a sloth when we were there. Can also recommend the massage! More

All three of the staff working during our stay were friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help (i.e. booking tours, making calls for us, providing maps and personalized information). The woodwork in the hotel is really... More

We booked the rustic lodge after viewing trip advisor reviews. This hotel isn't on all of the sites regarding the area and this makes for a more select international clientele. We were greeted by the family owners as soon as we set foot on the premises. The hotel is beautiful and clean with rich woods throughout. They set up all... More
