The hotel's chef creates cuisine from local ingredients, balancing sophistication and simplicity according to changing tastes and seasons. The culinary philosophy emphasizes bringing jungle ingredients to the plate. A kids menu is available for younger guests.
Activities center on private guides and tailored excursions throughout the Atlantic Rainforest.
