It was a nice place but over priced. we drove almost two huors to get there. And were unable to swim because of the recent rain that made the water dirty.

A unique experience! Swimming in the waterfall was amazing. We enjoyed the Pavillion for our picnic lunch. Very nice restroom too.

Spectacular property, the water fall
And pond are just incredible. No crowds, just tropical paradise. The hostess greeting us was very friendly and informative. Very clean bathroom and showers at the tops/reception (which was a bonus surprise). Bring some bug spray for the lower path as we ran into a few mosquitoes. Overall one of the highlights of our trip!
