hotel decided to settle down in their own veritable slice of paradise. Here amid a large
finca

offering a combination of low prices, high value and good design sense. All seven rooms
overlook lush environs, and play a near-continuous audio track of jungle sounds. Beyond
the show-stopping natural setting, the good taste of the owners is evident as you walk from
room to room and view the transition from modernist glass walls to Japanese-style sliding
rice-paper doors.
