10/10 Excellent

Beautiful property. Rooms could use some updating but overall nothing to complain about. Staff, especially Josue at the coffee bar, was AMAZING. Good live music and fun entertainment.

4/10 Poor

All the food was horrible. The bed and room were all right pretty outdated Internet access was good. Transport was rough because we used our own car and the roads are destroyed. You definitely need a 4 x 4 if traveling to this location.
