What an amazing experience! This is a magical spot with a spectacular view on a floating island. Ivan welcomes you like family serving amazing meals with warm hospitality and a relaxed atmosphere.
Couple of important items:
1) Be sure to plan in advance the boat transportation as the floating island is about 30 minutes boat ride from shore. It's well worth the trip! They generally pickup between 8am - 7pm so be sure to reach out and give them advance notice.
2) As the island is quite remote, also be sure to give them any food requirements. The meals are amazing but they need some advance warning to buy food if you're gluten free or vegetarian, etc.
It's simply incredible to stay on a remote island that floats on sawgrass (away from it all in the middle of the lake) with a 180 degree uninterrupted view over a serene lake. Talk about an escape!
Ivan is full of interesting information, and took us for a boat tour around the floating islands. The meals are delicious.The rooms are comfortable (just be prepared for some of the limitations - no wifi (we did have wireless coverage) and only solar power - so plan to relax and unwind.
We spent two nights here and really felt like we got away from it all. Ivan and his family are wonderful hosts. Enjoy the escape to island time and that view!
