“I really enjoyed my vacation here. I liked the food, especially the fresh fish. I liked the waterfalls. While on the hike we saw a snake and I also saw all types of monkeys. I liked all the hikes, especially the early bird. The nicest birds were the green parrot, toucans, Macaws and More.... The rooms were very nice. There were animals all over the hotel.

David Hedaya, 10 years old
