Peter’s perspective on this jewelry retreat. It was a hit with both my kid and me. A lot of room and property details. Unwind in the middle of nature with a view of a jungle wall, a relaxing sauna, and a refreshing river plunge. My kid loved the yoga classes. Possible hideaway with a lot of potential.
