Love how tucked away, quiet and peaceful it is! It would have been nice to have WiFi in the cabanas, but at the same time it did encourage us to “unplug” and get away from phones. The owners dog Zeus was a big hit. The food was excellent. They’re still working on a few things of course, since it’s a newer place, but it was great. You should understand that you’ll have to get a motorbike transport (not car) available at the main road to get you and luggage across the river, or walk. So it’s better to pack lite and probably best of all to use a backpack vs rolling luggage.
