“Interesting and Unique Amazon Jungle Adventure”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012
4
people found this review helpful

Went in slow season toward end of October. Weather was humid with intermittent rain showers, very few guests at the time; it was peaceful and idyllic with lots of beautiful scenic picture opportunities. The staff is extremely nice and attentive. They will see to your every request and coordinate special trips, or whatever you want to do to make your trip special. The location is remote, so you are limited to walking around the complex on your own. I recommend the planned tours if you want something to do. This place is not for high end pampering. It is fun if you like hiking through the jungle, interacting with animals, visiting local villages, learning about the culture and eco-system. The resort has a small store with some basic sundries, so take your own aspirin, bug spray, water proof bag for your camera (everywhere you go is by boat), and other personal care necessities. They have an on-site nurse, a main area with an outdoor bar, and internet access. All meals are served from their buffet. If you tire of that you can order from the bar. They will prepare whatever you want if they have it.
We stayed in one of the Tarzan houses. Pros: It’s like a private cabin up in the trees. You have a private pool the size of a large spa, and your own patio. Cons: Hot water was warm. I would also recommend the Imperial Suite. The suites are all at the top of the towers. Pros: you have a view above the trees. Cons: more noise – in the all wood structures you hear people walking around, talking, etc.
Overall I highly recommend it as a unique and unforgettable place. I don’t think there is any place quite like it.

Room Tip: Tarzan houses provide the most privacy and a true "in the jungle" experience. The suites...

“The experience of a lifetime!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

What a magical place! The rooms are very clean and artistic. YOu are surrounded by rainforest and the wonderful Amazon. Caymen hunting was very exciting. Loved the jungle hike also. No mosquitoes because of the Rio Negri. Would recommend takng more time to walk around the resort. Walks go everywhere. Monkeys are everywhere too! Our guide was very knowledgeable and a real character. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for adventure travel without too much adventure. Everything is well planned and the food is awesome.

“Unique Experience in the Heart of Amazon”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Agreed with the previous reviews - if you are looking for pure luxury and pampering; look elsewhere. This is a basic accomodation surrounded by jungle and nature. There are birds, monkeys and insects all over the place. We stayed in one of the tree houses (Casa de Tarzan) ; the climbing up to the tree house is an unique experience by itself. The room is clean and basic; amenities are limited and necessary items (shampoo & soaps) are provided. The daily activities are well organized and lots of fun. Home cooked meals are served (drinks are optional). Price is a bit expensive but you are buying the jungle experience.

“Unbelievable Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Listen folks - this is not the Four Seasons so if you are expecting that type of experience this will not be for you. It is the jungle + expectations should be adjusted based on that. Excellent tour guides + staff made the stay enjoyable and unforgettable. The rooms are functional + clean. Given the daily activities you will hit your pillow at the end of the day + sleep throughout the night. Do as many of the optional tours as possible they are not to be missed. Swim with the pink river dolphins, piranha fishing + caiman hunting at night were the highlights. The tour has a strong focus on ecology + provides tourists with an understanding of the complexity of the ecosystem + most importantly to respect the natural surroundings. The food is local and authentic + caipirinhas at the bar are not to be missed.

“Welcome to the Jungle”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011
4
people found this review helpful

It's in the rainforest. If you don't want the jungle experience, stay in the city and miss an incredible time. Take the time to do the rainforest hike, piranha fishing, boat trips by night, and you won't regret it. The rooms are in towers built on stilts over the water. It's not like staying at the Ritz, but you didn't come all the way to the Amazon to find a pillow menu, did you? Great food, much of it from the river at your doorstep.
