Great place, right where you want to be. The excursions to the village, the rapids, and the rainforest/jungle are well worth it. Knowledgeable guides! The food is delicious, including the vegan food.

It is situated in a beautiful spot by the river. The rooms were clean. However, you have to shower in river water.

Fantastic 3-day experience! We had a fantastic 3-day tour with our family in August. From start to finish, everything was well taken care of and organized. During this tour, you get a beautiful and complete picture of the interior of Suriname. From soaking up the culture and getting to know the local area to venturing into nature and the forest (saw: sloths, spiders, monkeys, caimans, and much more). There was also plenty of opportunity to swim in the pool and the Sulas and to relax wonderfully. The food was delicious every day and the cottages were comfortable. As a family, we felt incredibly welcome and at ease. I highly recommend this tour to everyone, both solo travelers and families. It is a beautiful combination of culture, nature, relaxation, and delicious food. An experience you won't soon forget. You will absolutely enjoy it! Bring: water shoes for the Sulas.
