Just very satisfied and grateful for staying at this beautiful home in the jungle and for the over-the-top customer service, even when I messed up.
Not to seem overly gushy, but Lucy is a great cook and a better person, her and her brothers Joe and Laz. Joe arranged transportation to and fro during our stay and Laz captained the Macal River pontoon trip. They were easy to understand and easy to love. I was pleasantly surprised at the depth and breadth of their knowledge and detail of all things in the Mayan Mountains. They always seemed to go beyond our expectations. Ask Joe to recite one of his poems and watch him light up!
The cabin in set on high hill over the Macal River. There is a large and beautiful deck (shockingly no bugs or mosquitos in April) with a large Santa Maria tree growing through the middle like a tree house. We saw (and heard) howler monkeys, a spider monkey just off of our deck, an anteater off a trail near the unit. Laz pointed out numerous waterfowl, tiny crocodiles, sleeping bats, and three waterfalls on the pontoon trip. Last, Joe took my friend and I on a horseback riding trip through the Mayan Mountains near his home, the highlight of our trip. I wanted to take my horse Becky home with me.
The unit is very reasonable and a great value. The only negative would be quite small, the cost of transportation to the activities was on the high side. Of course one could rent a 4 wheel drive vehicle, but I wouldn't recommend it due to the roads and lack of road signs. This unit is at the end of a dirt road way back in the forest.
