We added this to the end of our trip after experiencing some Safari's. I am surprised at the glowing reviews as we felt this place was rather run down. It's very rustic and one of the rooms smelled very musty and damp - it was pretty bad. I caution you to be careful what time of year you go - it was a bit cold when we went and the wood stove fire kept going out at night. Also, be careful with this place if you are not a sound sleeper. It can get really loud with the wind at night. We did not sleep either night we were there because the wind was whipping so loudly it felt like we were in the middle of a hurricane. The meal portions were also very small and the menu very limited - you basically just eat whatever they decide to make for the night (they don't ask you)so if there is a type of food you don't like make sure to let them know upfront so they can cook you something alternative. Overall we just walked away with a feeling that this place wasn't doing that well. We always leave very nice tips but you could tell the staff was all over us to make sure we left a tip which sort of left us feeling a big weirded out. It's a beautiful area but I feel like this lodge might be going downhill and could either use a management change or some cash infusion for upgrades.

Had an absolutely outstanding time. The rooms are spectacular and the bathrooms with the soaking tub and indoor and outdoor showers are out of this world. The staff are incredible and extremely personable. The hike up the mountain is an absolute must; saw lepoard tracks that were less than one hour old! So many things to do with the ATV ride also another "must do". Could easily have spent a week there!!!!

The location is a little remote from Stanford. It is ideal for romantic couples who are happy to stay at the resort which is luxurious in a beautiful setting overlookig a lagoon and mountain. Your rooms are set in a rustic charm and a good size. Everything is included in the cost. Staff are very helpful. The lodge provides activities at 10 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon for about 45 minutes. These are a walk, quad bikes riding, kayaks or a trip to the beach whale watching. Spa facilities on site and books and board games available. Otherwise not much happens. Perhaps a TV in a common area would be good. A tea towel in room would be helpful and we felt the lighting in room wasn't adequate.
