The only reason it is not a 5 star review is the resturants and the general store . We did the hostel style rooms they were fine and what we expected. It was my first time doing this type of lodging I would pack differently next time that was on me . Our guides were wonderful ! Mungo was our white water rafting guide he was fabulous request him , NOC keep him he is an 18 yr old gem great young man , good sense of humor an so capable made me feel immediately at ease . My biggest beef was there was no bagged ice available for the entire 3 days we were there , That is a problem in july, the general store does not have much else either you should not have to travel to the gas station up the road aside from you losing that money it is inconvenient . The riverbend restaurant has a great view and their only saving grace was Bradley wonderful young man , that being said 9.99 for a frozen hamburger patty is very high the fries were excellent my almost six dollar beer was not cold not having beer on ice in mid july is another big faux pas . The big wesser I cannot say anything about their food or drink because they were under staffed so the lines were always long and the servers did not look clean so in turn that made me worry about the cleanliness of the things they were preparing so i did not order........Oh and the fridges in the common area were stuffed so it was not an option for us to even use them more fridge space would be good in the common area and an ice machine
