Culinary Delights

The food at Rancho Margot was simply very nice! Each meal was made with love from fresh ingredients sourced right from their own farm. It was a vegetarian's paradise, with at least three different types of salad every meal. I especially loved the wood-fired pizzas and the delicious lentils. Truly a feast for the senses!

Yoga Bliss

I took part in the daily yoga classes offered at the lodge, and it was a wonderful experience! The sessions were held in a serene location with the sound of the nearby river flowing, which created a calming atmosphere. The instructors were fantastic, making the classes pleasant for beginners and experienced yogis alike.

Serene Accommodations

Our bungalow was a cozy retreat, with spacious layout and a peaceful ambiance. The open windows allowed for a lovely breeze and the sounds of the jungle lulled us to sleep at night. It was a perfect blend of comfort and nature, making our stay truly nice.

Nature's Spa

I was thrilled to take a night walk guided by one of the knowledgeable staff members. We spotted unique creatures and learned about the local biodiversity, which was a fascinating experience! It was like a natural spa, where we rejuvenated not just physically, but also mentally and spiritually.
