Koora was such a special place to stay. So many great things - the staff were so attentive and welcoming, the food was amazing and the wildlife we encountered just walking to and from our room featured armadillos, mischievous coatis, agutis and so much more. I’ve stayed at lots of places, this rates in the top 10 - so beautiful and tranquil - highly recommend.

There is literally nothing i bad i can say about this trip. The staff were so lovely. I love exotic fruits, the staff members were kind enough to teach me how to eat these new fruits. I can’t thank them enough for how well they have treated me in general.
