Top quality hotel under the forest canopy
We stayed in the exceptional Shaman riverside suite. The room was spacious, well-appointed and luxurious. The outdoor shower room with its tree canopy ceiling was extraordinary. Coupled with the helpful friendly staff and its forest location we had a very memorable stay.

It was an amazing experience to stay in this jungle resort. Everything was awesome. We felt like at home. The stuff was very friendly. The only negative thing was the driveway. It was very damaged and if you don’t have suv, you will have a problem to get there.

Astonishing
It was such a pleasure staying there. The service, the way we were welcome and treated while we were there was fantastic. The customer service was just out of this world. The hotel was awesome, the view. Everything was just marvelous. The owner approached our table the night we arrived and thanked us for being there. I definitely recommend this place.
