The opportunity to watch and then taste the chocolate at each stage was great. The project is self funded. asking for donations from visitors and the shop sells goods, including chocolate, which supports the local economy so you must buy something here to support this fantastic project. If you are in this area you should not use this wonderful experience, you will not regret it. read less

Due to some building work, we got upgraded to the fantastic family suite, which had a special little room where we could observe jungle life. Meghan and her team (especially Roger) were super friendly, and always available for any question or booking. We went on 2 of the many tours they offer - many of which are partnerships with local people - trying to give employment to the local community - the river tour and the organic farm tour. I would highly recommend the organic farm tour. My 4 yr old was kept entertained by playing with Daniel's grandson and holding all the little piglets. Amazing free breakfast and dinner was great too (though a little pricey) . Would highly recommend this place as the owners are so committed read less

Lots of delicious breakfast choices, great connections to tours that support the local community and a friendly multigenerational vibe. The morning alarm clock is the sound of howler monkeys and the night time nature sound of frogs and cicadas chirp you to sleep. We stayed in the family suite to have access to a kitchen, as the (delicious, but not included) dinner was our of our price range. This was a great space for us and included comfy beds, a hammock and a gigantic shower. It's nice to have the option of a screen-free vacation with no TV, but , if you need it, there's good wifi signal in common spaces. Staff and their family were super friendly. read less

As one of the last guests to stay before Coronavirus forced its (I hope temporary) closure, I wish it every success when it reopens after things return to normal.

It’s a lovely place that I cannot recommend enough. The owners and staff are so friendly, the environment lovely. The courtesy morning walk revealed a huge range of animals, and the night walk was fantastic.

Go stay there! read less
