Summary: We had a great family vacation, enjoyed by all ages from 14-75. Eco tours, zip lining, deep sea fishing arranged by Lenin were delightful. The staff kept the property in great condition. Chef Ana(and her staff ) is worth every cent- she introduced us to the local cuisine, cooking her favorite dishes and enthusiastically prepared the yellowfin tuna that was caught on the fishing trip. Anything we requested was prepared without hesitation.
