Es un lugar increíble para quedarse. Tiene opciones para todos los presupuestos, que se integran muy bien en el entorno y las zonas comunes. Estando ahí te sientes en el medio de la jungla. Cuenta con cocina compartida muy equipada, zona de juegos con villar, restaurante muy bueno y un exterior soñado con piscina y decks que dan a la jungla. Todo el personal fue muy amable con nosotros. Paolo el encargado nos ayudó mucho a haer nuestra estadía espectacular. Muy recomedable!
