Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The hostel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. A hidden gem! Such an amazing experience in the rainforest, the sounds of the rain on the roof all night was truly magical. We arrived in the evening (and hungry) and had a beautiful dinner cooked with so much care & love.
