Wow. This was perfect for our family of seven adults. We were in the rainforest and were able to go caving see the Mennonites and did I say experience the rainforest! The beautiful grounds seem to go on forever and we never tired of exploring.
We arrived later at night than we thought and Mike drove into town and waited to meet us and show us the way. This was really helpful and let us all enjoy the ride rather than be stressed. We should have had a 4x4 vehicle but were given the wrong model so we got stuck trying to get out a few days later. No problem, Mike called Budget and they brought us another vehicle. He really took care of anything we needed and his staff was the same.
There was a ranger on site for guidance.. Mike is originally from Canada and has great stories that gave us an understanding and familiar feeling on any history, nature and culture topics we asked about.
Everyone had their own private space.The house is just the right distance from the restaurant which is in the jungle-surrounded by the cave, mountain, flowers and river. Talk about accommodating we have unique eaters and they made anything we wanted. By the end we had modified the menus to deliciously meet each need.
We loved the cave twice and both times we had the whole cave to ourselves. One day it was closed to public due to rain but they took our group in. It was very special for us not to be around tours of people. At one point we turned off our lights and enjoyed the total darkness and peace. The stalactites and stalagmites are spectacular.
A word on safety... never locked a door and walked around at any hour alone without a thought.
This was a great value. We are a well traveled group from couch surfing to 5 star hotels and this choice hit it out of the park. We had an amazing time!!!
A big thank you to mike and his staff.
