"We had an amazing stay! We loved the meals at the restaurant & the ambiance as well. Beautiful place. The staff was attentive, polite & very accommodating. We enjoyed horse rides & got massages as well. The views from the cabins are amazing! Do be prepared for mosquitoes at night. Unfortunately we are sensitive & the bugs love our blood so we left with many bug bites. Yet we would do it all over again! 💛"
