    cozy bungalow

    fantastic food

    Positive, The bungalow with garden view was cozy and clean. I loved the early morning coffee and the fun of kayaking for free. Staff was super helpful, especially Angela. The food was fantastic, and the boardwalk through the jungle was a nice touch. 🏞️

    I absolutely loved our big room with a terrace overlooking the water! 🌊 The staff were super helpful. they arranged a boat trip and even changed our bus tickets. Only downside? Beds could've been a bit firmer.

    charming bungalow
    attentive staff
    outdoor dining
    warm nights

    Charming bungalow with great jungle vibes. The staff were attentive, particularly Rudy, who efficiently helped with arrangements. I enjoyed meals outdoors, surrounded by nature, and the free kayaking was a delightful bonus.

    The lack of air conditioning made nights quite warm, and electricity cutouts occurred occasionally, which could be a concern.

    rustic vibe
    very nice comfort
    amazing food
    safety concern

    The rustic vibe of the lodge was good, with amazing food and very nice comfort. We particularly enjoyed paddling along the shoreline to the Castillo de San Felipe, which made for a perfect family outing with our adult children.

    My wife says that adding life jackets for the hotel boat would improve safety for families.

    waterfront experience
    cozy atmosphere
    soft bed
    neighbor noise
    limited dining options

    A wonderful stay highlighted by the stunning waterfront and cozy atmosphere. Indulgent pastries were a delightful treat at breakfast, and the help from the staff made the experience even better. While the location is serene, the beds leaned too soft for my preference, and some noise from neighboring rooms could be heard at times, slightly detracting from the peaceful vibe.

    The atmosphere exuded a charming rustic vibe, complemented by both clean accommodations and a serene riverside setting. Every morning featured a delightful breakfast, with hot dogs being a surprising highlight. Although the absence of air conditioning made nights somewhat uncomfortable, the warm showers and attentive staff made for a wonderful trip overall.

    lush atmosphere
    breathtaking view
    soft bed

    a beautiful stay but with minor issues

    The atmosphere was lovely, perfect for relaxation after our explorations. The river view from our Two-Bedroom Suite was breathtaking, enhancing our experience every morning. An unforgettable river trip to Livingston was expertly arranged by the staff, adding adventure to our peaceful stay. The garden view outside was a delightful touch, making it a real escape.

    The only downside was the softer bed, which could benefit from being a bit firmer.

    floating dock

    It was just an appropriate option for a transient stop in Rio Dulce with good value for cost. Enjoyed the floating dock where I swam and relaxed in the sun. Be mindful of the slippery steps going into the river.

    fusion food
    homemade drinks
    garden area
    noise issue

    Had a lovely time enjoying the homemade drinks and delicious fusion food, especially as vegetarians with plenty of choices. I could unwind in the garden area and soak up the sun by the riverside. A small downside was the noise from neighboring bungalows, but it wasn't a big deal for me. 🌿
