This property deserves its high ratings. Staff is exceptional. The good and slightly inconvenient issue with the property is its location. In good side, you really feel like you are in the jungle and river views are spectacular. The downside is the property is a short drive outside town so no walking to town or getting a quick taxi. Need to plan activities ahead.

Silvia, the front desk concierge/manager/person in charge (I'm not sure what her exact title was), did a fantastic job arranging out daily outings and customizing it to meet our requests and giving her recommendation to make out 4 night stay for our family of four memorable. The dining staff made special arrangements to make my daughters birthday special, it was a great surprise for all of us.
