Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Would send friends their way.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Recommended.

Only when there is a thin film of water on it, which means the wet season roughly January to March. That is also when the southern lagoon circuit becomes impassable. You get the mirror or you get the lagoons — not both.
