Citrus Creek Plantation

The guests enjoyed the comfortable bedding, charming accommodation, and fantastic riverfront setting. They also praised the well-equipped kitchen and spacious living areas.

Four of us traveling, stayed at Vanil Vaness. The colors that Tana decorated her place with are beyond happy. Every single space of the cottage is painted or done with mosaic. When you enter the second level of the cottage, there are glass blocks in the painted floor, letting light in. Was blown away the minute I walked through the front door. Vanil Vaness was spotless, and decorated with local flowers, and surprises at every turn. I can't say enough about how magical it felt, like we were transported to a special hide awy in the forest. Tana also made the experience so very special. She delivered fresh baked bread every morning(and we took the leftovers when we departed), and fresh passion fruit juice. What a heavenly way to start each new day. She was so gracious and friendly and helpful. We took two full day tours. Ossie was our guide. I can honestly say, of all my travels all over central and South America, he is hands down the best guide I have ever had. His love for his country, combined with his vast knowledge of the local plants, trees, fruits, and local attractions was stunning. We stopped at the local Farmacy which was the best, and also local restaurants. Tana worked with Ossie to make sure we saw the best of everything. The food at Citrus Creek was also outstanding. I am a French trained professional chef, and truly enjoyed the tarragon chicken(wowsa), the marlin, and the parrot fish. Portions were huge, like they are all over the country. The gentleman chef was very gracious and friendly. Loved loved loved the dinners!!! We will be returning again next year, and enjoying Tana's gracious hospitality again. Thank you Citrus Creek for one of the best trips of my life!!!
