  • We really enjoyed being immersed in nature here. Many types of birds, fish, turtles, and insects. Even cats wandering around. Multiple trails to explore. You can get in plenty of steps, especially if....  more

  • Super chill location that is perfect for some down time while on vacation. It will take about 1.0 to 1.5 hours to walk the garden. The restaurant that is on premise is a perfect place to wrap up the garden with some excellent food and some amazing rum drinks. Glad we added this to our tour.
  • After a long bike to the garden, I didn’t get to explore every corner of it. But I mainly lost interest after noticing that the garden needed to be well kept and cleaned up. I was hoping to see many different plans and flowers but didn’t get lucky. Bushes and trees needed trimming. The children playground needed attentions and definitely replaced if not painted. I was simply disappointed…. It looked abandoned. The only place that looked decent was the restaurants where most tourists hung out. Other then that I was not impressed…. I hope they put to use the $17 fee. I didn’t take any fotos of the areas that needed attention since I was so tired from pedaling over 3 hours. And there was not much that captivated my attention. Beside the restaurant area, the church and labyrinth!
