My girlfriend and I went to Hamanasi for a 7 day get away, and I have to say it was an incredible experience. The customer service and attention to detail was top notch. After only a couple of days everyone addressed us by name and knew our full itinerary. I have a gluten allergy, so that's always a concern when traveling, but Hamanasi grows a lot of their food onsite. Also they were able prepare pancakes, gluten free breads, and overall make it feel like having a personal chef. We did a few of the excursions while we were there. The ATM tour mentioned in national geographic, snorkeling, the boat tour to see the howlers, the magical Mayan history tour, zip-lining, and the mayflower waterfall and jungle hike. It was a great combination of history and adventure. Definitely bring water shoes if you plan to do the ATM and hiking boots if you plan to do the mayflower tour. We stayed in one of the tree house rooms, and It was beautiful. On the last day we were able to have masseurs come to the room, and my girlfriend was also able to have someone local do her hair. It provided the feel of staying in the jungle with all the amenities of a top notch resort. Hamanasi has something for everyone. Just thinking of the sunsets while laying in a hammock on the pier and all the stars at night makes me want to go back. It truly is a magical place.
