This is a nice hotel in the park. It's away from the main "town", about a 5 minute water taxi ride away. The grounds are nice, there is hiking at the hotel. On the hotel grounds and hiking trails over 4 days we say howler monkeys, spider monkeys, toucans, macaws, poison dart frogs, and lots of other critters! They offer boat tours of the canals, which were wonderful. We loved the first one so much, we booked another one the next day, where they took us to different parts of the canals. On the canals, we saw some rare birds, cayman, more monkeys, and even a sloth. The guide was extremely nice and knowledgeable. We hung out with the owners a few times, they are very nice. The manager was also incredibly nice. It was just a great experience overall, and a wonderful place to stay at while visiting the park. Remember, this hotel, and all the other ones are IN THE JUNGLE, which means there are lots of insects, it's hot, everything's damp and humid, etc... This isn't a 5 star Hilton in a city!
