The lodge is awesome, and way more beautiful than I expected. The excursions and food are incredible, albeit priced like an American resort. This is NOT a budget accommodation for sure - it's a luxury splurge. The pool is fantastic, but be warned it's unheated so very cold in the winter. Swimming in the river below is much more pleasant (and equally safe). We were pleasantly surprised at the weekend cheese tasting and the wonderful orchid garden! The location is pretty remote and there is no mini fridge in the room, so your only option for food is the main restaurant. They serve a very good set menu 3 meals a day with limited hours (8-930am, 1-230pm and 6-730pm), but the bar is open most of the day. If you like to snack, make sure to bring your own non-persihables!
