Amazing place, so many different activities are included in the stay, we enjoyed it a lot. Don’t expect to be able to leave the hotel so easily since it is up a hill for 30 min from Liberia.

Excellent service. The food was really good. We loved being able to hike to the waterfalls and being so close to the National Park entrance. The only downside were the mosquitoes! We had so many bites.

We loved the property. What a wonderful place to build a resort! It is so pretty around there! The two gentlemen playing music made our stay so comforting and nice. We loved the pool and the snack shop attached to it. The food was awesome at the restaurant and bar. The staff was so friendly and helpful! The waterfalls were lovely and we had so much fun on the walks and in the hot spring baths. We also had to seek out the medic for a couple of things and he was the BEST!!
