What Guests Say

Stories from
the river.

★★★★★

The property is serene and beautiful and right off the Napo River. They offer evening activities every night — karaoke, bingo, trivia, movie night. The tours were amazing. I went on jungle hikes and a night walk. Couldn't have asked for more.

The food was delicious, the rooms were very cute, great pool area, yoga in the morning, super fun tours! Slept great with the thunder and lightning over Rio Napo as backdrop. The service was incredible.

My kids and I could not have been happier. Great family room — yes, there are jungle insects, but you're right by a river in the rainforest! Arranging tours was very easy. We would stay here again for the Amazon jungle ambience.
