Noah's Forest by Tifakara

Noah's Forest by Tifakara

10/10 Excellent
"We loved everything about our stay at Noah's Forest! Cristal was very helpful at check-in and the welcome drink was delicious! The property was beautiful, clean, and well maintained. Jeisson was helpful with our bags and had a telescope set up to show up slothes in the trees as soon as we arrived. Josue and Stephan (not sure if I am spelling his name right) were amazing as our waiters every day for breakfast and other meals. They were attentive, learned all of our names, and welcomed us daily. Pool and hot tubs were clean and enjoyable. We always felt safe. I would highly recommend staying here!"
