The view from the terrasse is simply amazing and there were so many animals around to see. Howler monkeys stayed in the tree right in front of the terrasse and we saw many different birds. There were almost no mosquitos, but lots of other flying and crawling critters since the house really is in the jungle. There is no AC but it cools down during the night so we could sleep well with open windows and doors. The little pool was very refreshing during hot days. Purified water for drinking was provided and we could even use the washing mashine and the dryer. We arrived a little earlier than expected but even at the time we said we would arrive there was no one there to let us in. Luckily a nice guy who lives in the community let us in and showed us the way to the house. Later Rachel came over and did the check in and showed us everything in the house. We had a very good and relaxing time in Casa Gala. Its a nice and clean house, very well equiped and with beautiful views. If you love nature you will like it here :)
