Absolutely wonderful!!! I didn't go to the restaurant or shop though. I spent some time speaking with staff and everyone was so friendly and interesting. I felt very safe and valued as a guest. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Todo muy agradable, muy bonito. Ver a los guardias de seguridad recoger dos piezas de papel que alguien tiro por error para mantener la cascada limpia e impecable fue algo bonito y notorio de presenciar.

Crystal Scarborough

It was POURING rain so we were unable to swim as the water was flowing very quickly. The path was clean and easy(ish) to use. The steps all are grippy so we didn’t slip even in flipflops! The sites are beautiful and there were plenty of stopping points for the trip back up all the stairs!! It is definitely worth the $20 especially if you’re able to swim here.
