For all its emphasis on sustainability and respect for nature, one might expect Nicuesa to offer more education about its exotic environment. Visitors wouldn't want to lose any of the resort feeling of the place. It is not elaborate, and the bit of luxury that is there is nice to come home to after a sweat- or rain-drenched hike into the forest. But a daily list of birds and notes on other species spotted by guests each day, and more emphasis on learning about the natural surroundings, would be appreciated by guests.

We'd have liked an informal mention before dinner as to what species were seen each day -- what they eat, what their territory consists of, how they are being preserved.

Easier access into the water for swimmers would make a difference. As for room amenities, the addition of a full-length mirror would be an asset.
