A wide range of B&Bs and hostels are also available in most parts of the country.

Everything about this place! First time but will for sure not be the last. The staff, service, cleanliness and comfort of the rooms was great. Plus, the menu and food at their restaurant were excellent. My oldest son got to see all kinds of animals during our stay (specially the howler monkeys) which made it even more special.
