Great overall experience with a good balance of beaches and mountains. The highlight of this tour was probably my interaction with the local people. My guide in Buena Vista Lodge, the host Roger in Malejus Lodge and the instructors during my surf lesson.
Hotel Reviews
This a great value-for-money deal. The hotel is located apx 20 minutes away from the airport (depending on traffic), it's very clean with all standard amenities, good cruising although not particularly local, great breakfast and very helpful personnel.
Amazing people working in this 142 acres of excellence. My Mountain room was spacious and clean and although there is no AC, it wasn't needed when I was visiting. There are many activities to do and I did most of them: tubing, hanging bridges, ziplining. Breakfast was great but otherwise, the restaurant offered food is nothing exceptional and quite pricy. With no available markets in the close proximity that can be an issue for some people.
Nothing great and nothing bad. This accommodation is the perfect average but it is affordable, clean and in a good location.
An amazing experience! Rosie and Roger dreamt of a place where humans could connect with nature and they accomplished something extraordinary. I have nothing but compliments for this place.
Activity Reviews
This was my first time surfing. The instructors took about 20 minutes to prepare/inform me about safety and technic and then we jumped in the water. The guides were all super friendly giving me feedback after every attempt to surf:)
Very easy to find, the people working at the front desk speak good English and the guide (although super young) was very helpful and friendly.
