Una experiencia de ensueño. Aguas cristalinas con diversas tonalidades de colores. Cuenta con un área en la que se encuentra barro mineralizado que brinda grandes beneficios a la piel.
No se puede describir con palabras la sensación de paz y alegría que trasmite cada parte de este bello lugar.
The location is just brilliant. Never seen such an amazing game of colors on a lake. We spent most of the day in the gorgeous palapa on the lake (you see it on several photos). You can get cayaks and even get with them to another lagoon where you are totally alone - well maybe there will be a crocodile, you never know :). One star minus because of the bad road to the House and since the kitchen in Casa Luna is very basic. I may add that the staff was really helpful and responsiv. Also the owner cared a lot about us being fine.
Excelente espacio para disfrutar de la naturaleza de la laguna
