Absolutely one of a kind. It's the type of AirBnB experience you hope to find but almost never do.
- Steven included quite a few fresh staples in our fridge, like eggs, milk, and fresh fruit juice
- We got freshly filleted tilapia from their fish farm
- The jungle pool is even more amazing than the photos suggest—there's a screened hammock porch on one side and a sunbathing deck on the other, and rivulets feeding the pool. Oh, and it's 9 feet deep, so you can truly swim.
- The place stays a bit cooler than the beach or cities, so even in the hot months the lack of AC isn't a problem
- You can look through a window in the floor at the fish swimming beneath the screened-in gazebo and even feed the fish
- There's a projector and screen for movies in the gazebo (DVD only)
- During our stay there was a howler monkey living nearby (endangered, loud, amazing)
- Horses roam the property
- There are short but very "jungle" trails crisscrossing the property
- Steven likes to personalize your stay—for example, we go complimentary pupusas from a nearby food stand that were delicious
If you're one who needs an extremely manicured luxury resort experience, you may not love this—it's in the jungle, after all. But if you're looking for a bit of adventure and the feeling of being in a welcoming space with plentiful amenities, book this immediately. Thank me later.
