Jungle experience.
Gorgeous setting. Friendly welcome. Tents are solid as they withstood a very windy and rainy night. We didn't mind the limited availability of power. Food was tasty. One minor suggestion to managment - blankets could do with replacement.

Sleeping in the rainforest
Loved the rainforest feel of this place. It rained all night and listening to it hit the roof of our room was very relaxing. Unfortunately someone was smoking outside the room next door and came straight through our room all night.

Liked it’s isolation and minimalist approach. Simple but comfortable. No TV and limited electronic media devices. No a/c - just a fan. Jungle walk was a highlight.

A quiet place to immerse in a jungle setting. Sleeping to the sounds of the rainforest at night is wonderful.
