Un petit coin de paradis

Pas la peine d'aller au parc Carara piur voir les aras rouges, nous n'en avons pas vu alors qu'au cerro lodge nous en avons vu plus d'une douzaine. Personnel agréable, la vue est magnifique, nous avons aussi vu 2 types de singes depuis l'hôtel (capucins et hurleurs). Petit déjeuner correct mais perfectible. Les habitations seules sont très bien le petit plus la douche et les toilettes à l'extérieur (aucun vis à vis, bien protégé), et une piscine agréable

Excellent stay, room rustic but good liked the outside shower. Food very good but very big portions so should have ordered one between the 2 of us. Great views of birds from the deck.

There were howler monkeys outside in our first morning when we arrived. We also saw scarlet macaws both mornings we were there and the breakfast was nice and convenient to start the day with. The staff were very friendly and very helpful in planning tours for the days.
Clayton, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We hebben een goede ervaring gehad tijdens ons verblijf. Alles was erg netjes en schoon. Ook en zwembad geldt dit voor. We hebben het geluk gehad dat er een apen familie over trok. En ara’s zaten te eten bij het restaurant. Daarnaast was de krokodillen tour die bij de receptie voor je gereserveerd kan worden erg leuk. Het restaurant is prima, en als optie zit er een soda aan het eind van de straat. Wij hebben er drie nachten overnacht.
