Jeff and Cheryl were amazing hosts and gave us the best recommendations to make our trip to San Ignacio/Cristo Rey an absolute success. In our first conversation alone, Cheryl saved my husband and I over $100 by recommending the best transportation options to get us to their place from Placencia and to the airport. Not a bad way to start!
Jeff and Cheryl also gave us recommendations for the best tour guides for each of the trips that we were interested in taking, and I was blown away by the quality of the people/experiences they recommended. Their advice was worth its weight in gold.
The casita was truly lovely with a remarkable view of the forest and river below. In the morning we saw parrots, toucans, hummingbirds, and other beautiful wildlife. It really gave the feel of being in nature. We did arrive in April when the temperatures reach up to 105 degrees F and 75% humidity so the lack of A/C was a bit of a challenge to get used to. That said, most places in the area don't have A/C either, so it's just something to be aware of. Another disadvantage to anywhere in the jungle was the wildlife noises at night. Roosters, howler monkeys, and cicadas did occasionally make sleeping a challenge, but it is just part of living in the area.
We really appreciate everything that Cheryl and Jeff did to make our stay truly special.
