The grounds are beautiful and the lodge area is set back several kilometers off the local roads so the area is quiet and peaceful. The cabanas are well provisioned - we liked our #7 as it had a small walk-in closet for our bags and clothes. The temperature was unseasonably warm while we were there but staff accommodated by delivering several fans to our room so it was comfortable to sleep. We left our windows open at night with no issues. There was a good variety of food and wonderful fresh juices and coffee. The lodge has a good network of trails and its own bird guide, who has been onsite for over 20 years. We saw golden collared manakins on a lek, white vented plumeleteer, a pair of spectacled owls, Parker's antbird, black-chested jays, spectacle breated went, brown throated parakeets, pale breasted spinetail and ultramarine grosbeak, and a bar crested antshrike, black tailed flycatcher, plain antvieo and golden crowned warblers to name a few. A pretty busy 2 days of birding. The road out of the lodge is worth and time and effort to bird after breakfast.
