    Fab rooftop bar. I enjoyed using the pool up there too. The breakfast was good and so were the evening meals that I had.

    It's right next to the National Park so very convenient. Also you can see birds from the roof top bar (including scarlet macaws and singing toucans!). The tour to the private waterfalls was also well worth it!
