Summary: This had to be one of my favorite vacations! It is truly a bit of paradise. All of the people that help out were wonderful. The building and surrounding property were beautiful. We took several hikes, visited the chocolate farm on the island and saw 6 sloths pretty close thanks to the owners daughter who joined our tour . Really recommend this tour.We snorkelled right in front of the place along with a few other places. Very nice!The best thing is the pace of life you become part of here.
