The included access to hot springs, trails, and breakfast made this a good value for our family.
We enjoyed the included hot springs and trails, nice smelling toiletries, included breakfast, and easy access from LIR airport. There were so many birds.

Amazing adventure park!
Amazing stay! The location is unbeatable. We visited the many waterfalls in the area (some walking distance, some driving distance), hiked Rincon de La Vieja twice (main loop and oropendola), enjoyed the zipline adventure park, and relaxed to the max at the hot springs! Each night we sat by the jacuzzi so we could watch the monkeys across the way during sunset. There was so much to do in this area… you’ll never be bored!
