Place was immaculately clean. The view from breakfast area was amazing. The staff at the Endemica went over and beyond to accomodate us as vegetarian. They made special meals for our toddler. Dennis, Jose, Priscilla were great at the restaurant. The zip line and night tour at the hotel were nice as well
