The resort is located inside the national park. Hotel shuttles meet guests at the airport. Private taxis can enter the park to drop off guests directly at the lobby.
Pre-Book Gran Aventura Boat Tour
The Gran Aventura boat tour departs from the trails near the hotel, driving directly into the spray of the Three Musketeers falls. Pre-book your slot with the concierge for 8:30 AM to ride the first boat of the day.
Trail Crowds & Standard Room Views
