uneven experience near the airport

insect life bird life insecure catch double doors
the jungle trails offered a real workout, and it was nice to see the waterfalls. there was also a lot of insect and birdlife, expected.
the bathroom lacked doors, except for the toilet room. the double doors by the shower blew open during the night. this woke me up rudely, and the catch wasn't secure at all.

bam! total relaxation station!

luxurious gardens clean room amazing food revitalizing spa
Okay, this place rocks! gardens overflow with life. I spotted hummingbirds plus toucans! rooms explodes with artsy vibes, super clean, and that bed? seemed like i slept on clouds, dude. spa? totally unreal. hot tub overlooked the jungle, then a massage? irene and lizbeth are basically miracle workers.
okay, tiny thing, reservations for dinner and breakfast seems important, otherwise kitchen might be a little slow, but the view during meals rocks!
