Mike's Place was AMAZING! I went solo during rainy season so it happened that I was the only person there. I'm sure it's even better when it's got some extra people around. Still, I had the place to myself and what a retreat that was. I took a Nature walk one morning after waking up to the Howler Monkeys, and spotted all sorts of cool birds and trees and plants. Then did a tour of the Barton Creek Cave with Alex as my tour guide. He was hilarious and told great stories about the cave and it's history. Elsa cooks in the kitchen and is an absolute pleasure and last but not least Mike and Sucely who run the place are SUPER friendly and accommodating with lots of wonderful stories. The crazy roads getting up there are well worth the stay and play a huge part in the adventure. Be warned , there is no phone service (understandably) but there is Wifi (!!!). I HIGHLY recommend spending a night or 2 in the middle on the jungle at Mike's Place! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
