Beautiful contemporary hilltop home with impressive panoramic view and pool
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (78)
"Everything about our stay was amazing! Katia is a highly responsive communicator and helpful resource, and the housekeeper, Consuelo, well let's just say I wanted to see if I could convince her to come home with us permanently! She was so kind-hearted and made us the most delectable meal. The views and yard are breathtaking (we saw toucans from the porch most nights!), the pool was a hit with the kids, we enjoyed the multiple hammocks, and the home's overall aesthetics were wonderful.

Heliconia is a self catering studio cabin with jungle facing private balcony
8.4 out of 10, Very good, (8)
"The property is amazing. Only received low score based on accuracy of listing. My cabin was not one that was pictured, however I did still enjoy the cabin and it was cool and comfortable. The pool was…. Not as clear as the pictures. The food from Jack at the bar was 10/10 phenomenal. I recommend the buffet and full English breakfast. The road coming up the hill is a little rough, but manageable. I enjoyed my stay. It was quiet and comfy. Very relaxing."

8.0 out of 10, Very good, (7)
"The listing does not show the cabana in question. As we were the only guests at the time, we were given the option of 2 different cabanas neither of which matched the pics in the in listing. The cabana we ended up with had 2 very tiny bedrooms with no place to put our luggage. The washroom needed upgrades as the shower head was hanging on for it's life. The cabana itself smelled extremely musty. The entire property could use repairs and upgrades: toilet seat falling off type of repairs. On the...

"My husband and I along with 5 friends came to stay at Riverwalk Ranch to enjoy warm weather, go birding and visit Mayan ruins. Elias and Betty made our stay memorable, enjoyable and relaxing. Elias's meals were works of art, the house beautiful, and the pool refreshing. The tours that we booked picked us up at the house which made the day trips very easy. Sitting on the veranda in the late afternoon watching the parrots arrive was a favorite pastime. A wonderful vacation and a home that I would...

Welcoming home near town with private pool, jungle views, WiFi & partial AC
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (18)
"Overall a very nice place to stay with family. Quiet neighborhood, away from hustle and bustle of down town. The kitchen has everything you could need, and the patio/pool was a plus. The beds are all very hard, so not great for someone with a bad back. The only real negative was the workers next door that were using the outdoor tap from the property for whatever they were doing. They were working every day we were there, and one day they turned off the incoming water line to the house and didn’t...

They made sure that we were able to eat before our tours in the morning and even prepared our dinner a little early on the day of our arrival because we had not eaten. Cant say enough, it was so wonderful."

Mystic River Resort

Mystic River Resort

5/5 Excellent
"Mystic River Resort feels like you are staying in the Congo with an amazing staff, food, drinks, and rooms. The rooms do not have AC so we recommend staying here in the winter/spring unless you are used to the humid heat. The excursions available all around are awesome! And the food/drinks within town are amazing and CHEAP! We will definitely be back to the resort in the winter for a cooler experience as we see more temples."
