The resort and entire staff is simply amazing! The onsite restaurant is excellent! The riverside beach makes for a relaxing setting with great waterside service from the bar and restaurant. The tours are led by very knowledgeable guides who are proud to share their culture and heritage.

We stayed in the villa and it was wonderful! Very spacious, private, and quaint - I would describe it as rustic luxury. The staff at Gaia is great - everyone goes above and beyond! There is a lot to see and do nearby - especially if you're active. It was a great 4-night stay!
