Meh - pretty property, nice staff but that's were it stops
the property is beautiful and the staff are very warm and friendly. Super hot water in the shower and the water pressure was GREAT! Breakfast is VERY good. Tours with Javier are very good, my young adult sons had a lot of fun with him. Natalie arranged a couples massage for me and hubby just past the closing time to accommodate our late return to the property. The pool was clean and beautiful - and cool enough to be refreshing after a long hot day in the Amazon. The staff will call you a cab so you can go down to Mishualli.
I'm not sure where to begin with this one. The tours with Carlos in particular were terrible and not worth the money. We went on the night walk shortly after arriving on property. He talked on his cell phone numerous times and left us waiting for him to finish his call in the pitch black jungle. He pointed out 3 bugs and a gecko, the 45 minute jungle walk includes checking out the glamping tents and the spa. We do understand that it is the jungle and you can't guarantee any sightings but to have to stop and check out a tent and listen to cell phone calls was ridiculous. The following morning we went fishing with Carlos - I can't even begin to tell you how awful this was. The saying "a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work" - not true for this trip. I would have rather been at work. The tour says traps, hooks and cast nets - nope its just a hook on a line with chicken guts, standing on a rocky beach for hours getting eaten alive by mosquitos to catch nothing. The rooms do not have a coffee maker and the kitchen doesn't open until 7. I'm an early riser and having to wait 2 hours for coffee was ridiculous. Speaking of that balcony - the sliding glass doors do not have any curtains so your first thought when you come in the cabin is "Wow how beautiful" but if you are trying to sleep past 6 am you are SOL. And those same balcony doors do not have screens and your cabin is HOT; your choice is to be eaten alive at night by bugs or sleep hot. There is no A/C and the room has a small fan positioned over the bed that does not oscillate. The sheets were threadbare and pilled. We slept terrible all 3 nights here. The spa was lovely until the owners 4 large guard dogs started barking and barked almost my entire 75 minute spa treatment. We really do love dogs but these dogs roam the property and can be unsettleing when they rush up to you barking as if they are ready to attack.

Fantastic jungle get away!
The property is beautiful! The bungalow was very private. You felt like you were part of the jungle when you opened the doors. The food was delicious! The staff was fantastic! This is a family run business, including the dog and the monkey! They had many good options for excursions.

Luxury in the Amazon
Beautiful accommodation with stunning Amazon views. The staff, especially Pablo and also Natalie were extremely kind and helpful, answering numerous whatsapps before and during the trip! 10/10 hospitality from both!
The only area for improvement would be the fact that the manager’s guard dog (we didn’t meet the manager) literally chased my husband, growling and barking, on our way to lunch. We like dogs as household pets but this dog displayed very aggressive, reactive behaviour that was frankly frightening. Whilst it is understandable to keep guard dogs to ward off predators/protect the property, we feel it is inappropriate for this type of dog to be roaming areas where guests inhabit with inadequate recall, including the food preparation area. I believe 4 guard dogs roam around at will. We were also concerned about the on-site semi domesticated monkey that also chased us (we were keen not to be bitten). I notice that the manager has responded defensively to feedback of this nature in the past but I would urge him or her to reflect on the comments rather than dismiss guest experiences. There is no need to get rid of the dogs but they do need to be under control or out of the guest areas.

don’t book experiences with them and don’t expect much from stuff
the property itself is nice but that’s it. we were ripped off by the hotel for the tours. they don’t have prices online, and all descriptions of different experiences were so unrealistically blown out the propositions.. durations of each activities as well… the staff is nice, but not very organized.. we waited for majority of yours and food in the restaurant for an hour each.. all in all.. not worth money nor visiting

a golden moment with my daughter, other guests and Angel at the evening bonfire.
Remote site in jungle, excellent food and wonderful staff. The lodge has a pool and an beautiful natural garden.
Like everyone says the road to the lodge is challenging

Really nice place but shame about the tours
The rooms feel very secluded and luxurious. I was a bit worried about bugs but had minimal intrusions. Breakfast was excellent The hosts were so helpful and responsive helping us arrange transport in advance via WhatsApp and answering all our questions
We loved the lodge itself but were quite disappointed by the tours we did. (The nightwalk and parrot trip). They weren’t really as described and our guide was not very interested in showing us things/ telling us about the area.
