Marcus did a great job of coordinating our excursions and connected us with very reliable and knowledgeable guides. He also provided sound advice about waiting until we got to Cayo to book excursions due it being rainy season. The two chefs were wonderful. They cooked delicious gourmet meals and catered very well to my friend's vegan diet! As two single women traveling, we felt safe on the lodge and had added protection of the two dogs who stayed close by our sides.
I rarely got mosquito bites, which was surprising since I'm usually an insect magnet! I used a natural insect repellent during the day and that held up well.
We were able to see cool wildlife close to and on property including agoutis, toucans, humming birds, giant spiders.
The lodge is accesible to downtown area but Sunday evenings can be a challenge getting back to Bullet Tree town bc cab drivers hike up prices. For example we paid $4 BZ going into town and on way back, no one would take us for less than $25 BZ! However, still was affordable.
Overall, Parrot nest provided a true rustic jungle experience, which was safe and inviting. We highly recommend it to you!
