In this serene tropical oasis you’ll find a lush tropical vegetation, many colourful birds, a beautiful artificial lake, a swimming pool, a kids playground, a bowling alley, a sugar-cane juice stand, a mini-golf course and boating on the lake.

You can also find on-site a few bars and 4 restaurants: El Retiro (International cuisine), Dante (Italian cuisine), La Campagna (Creole cuisine), and Gruta del Vino (wine bar and Seafood restaurant).
