Wildlife sightings of sloths, toucans, and other exotic birds occur regularly on site. The breakfast served is superb.
Huge property, lots of pools and restaurants. Rooms with outdoor showers and private plunge pools. Forest all around, animals seen like sloths and birds. Staff called golf carts to move around. Breakfast was good, amenities top quality.
