Client comments and reviews

La’Alondra has an excellent position for wetlands south and north. The manager, Leslie, spoke excellent English (Scottish grandfather), is a passionate ecologist and conservationist, and took us on two very good wetland adventures, including aspects of Guarani culture. He and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The décor is dated but our room was comfortable with air-conditioning. The breakfast was limited but the dinner was excellent, with wine only available by the bottle, not the glass! Credit cards are not accepted. - HH (February 2018)
