The ecolodge was well located within easy walking distance of the city center and lots of restaurants. The room was very spacious but a bit tired. We had a great time and the free parking was really useful. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.

The place is in a great location, close to the airport, restaurant and other amenities. However, the breakfast option is very bad. 1kid pouch juice, a muffin and a yogurt, coffee/tea everyday same thing. I would hope they have better options.
