    unique charm
    cool vibe
    local wildlife
    cramped space

    I loved birdwatching from my room. the views of local wildlife were a delight every morning. The bar restaurant had a cool vibe, perfect for hanging out after a day of exploring. The location near all the local attractions made it convenient for getting around. However, the room felt cramped with narrow stairs, which was a bit treacherous. I found it inconvenient that there were no hooks or shelves for placing our belongings. Breakfast timing at 8 AM was not ideal for early hikers. Additionally, a more welcoming attitude from the staff would greatly enhance the experience.

    Stunning views from the room and spacious layout made my stay so relaxing. We loved the large portions and local flavors of the dinner. It really felt special being surrounded by monkeys and tropical birds.

    great location
    unique atmosphere
    poor maintenance

    charming but needs improvement

    The location is fantastic, with easy access to local attractions. Birdwatching from my room was a delightful start to the day, as I spotted various species right outside my window. The bar restaurant offered a unique atmosphere that made for a fun experience in the evenings. I particularly enjoyed the trails nearby, which allowed for some great exploration in nature.

    Some areas lacked proper maintenance.

    stunning views
    cramped room
    hazardous layout

    Stunning views from the back porch were a highlight.

    The room was cramped with numerous steep steps and narrow stairs, making movement hazardous. I found it impossible to relax due to the overwhelming noise from the restaurant, amplified by the wooden structure. In addition, the lack of hooks and storage left us scrambling to find places for our belongings, adding to the frustration of our stay.

    wooden structure
    homemade pasta
    slow service

    I had an amazing stay! The wooden structure felt like sleeping in nature, with lovely views of birds from my room. The dining experience was delightful, especially the homemade pasta, although it took a bit longer than expected. I would absolutely return!

    good location
    slow service

    The location was ideal, just a short walk from the main bus stop and close to the park entrance. Our room featured a large window with beautiful views of local wildlife, making it a peaceful escape. The restaurant served generous portions of tasty food. I especially enjoyed the pancakes and nachos.

    Service at times felt a bit slow during peak hours.

    great food

    Couple seeking unique experience

    The food was good and reasonably priced, we had a great evening birdwatching from the restaurant. They even held on to our extra bags while we climbed the mountain, which was totally sweet, saved us from dealing with extra stuff overnight.

    It was a little on the pricey side but still acceptable.

    beautiful views
    birdwatching opportunities
    cramped space
    invasive bugs

    The Double Room was comfy with lovely wooden features, and I really enjoyed the back porch that overlooked nature—perfect for birdwatching! However, it felt a bit cramped, and I noticed some bugs coming in through the door gaps at night. It was a nice touch having a great view from the room, but I could’ve done without the pests bothering me while I tried to sleep.

    Rustic Charm with a Few Caveats

    The stunning views from the back porch were a highlight of our stay. However, be prepared for the narrow stairs and outdoor bugs when the sun sets. The local dining options were a pleasant surprise, and I recommend tasting the homemade pasta if you get a chance.
