“ Amazing placing in terms of how the restaurant looks and that it is located in the middle of the forest. You can see monkeys walking around. Food is good but requires improvement and better options. ”

“ The food was delicious and there was so much variety. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Atmosphere was Amazing! At any meal at any time of the day you can always enjoy seeing monkeys perching, racing around and playing, in addition occasionally seeing other animals and birds behind the mesh fencing. Beautiful jungle atmosphere. Very pleasant background music! This was definitely a wonderful, beautiful relaxing experience. Very Highly rated in my book! ”
“ Typical food for the area. Very plentiful and very well prepared. ”
“ I liked it. They have multiple options. That way you could always find something you migth like it. I had doubts because they normally find a table for you at the entrance and that made me think I would have to wait long time for a table, but never spent more than 5 minutes waiting for a table. Staff is very kind and they are always ready to help. Coffee is not the best in town but it is good. Monkeys on early breakfast stole the show. Kids and adults were fascinated with 3 monkeys that were playing outside the restaurant (they have a net so they do not enter the restaurant). ”
“ Food was good. Depending on the time there might be a looong line but in general terms all good! ”
“ Breakfast and dinner have been absolutely fantastic! I’m loving the incredible variety and options available that cater to all different tastes. Each meal feels like a delightful experience! ”
