This resort is a peaceful oasis surrounded by stunning nature, perfect for relaxation. The bungalows are spacious and overlook the river, providing an idyllic setting. While the dining options are delicious and affordable, it would be great to have larger towels and some mosquito repellent available. Overall, I had a fantastic time but encountered some pesky bugs and minor issues with room service.

My stay at this resort spa was quite picturesque, set beautifully along the river and surrounded by lush greenery that really captures the essence of jungle living. The bungalow-style rooms were large and comfortable, providing a serene retreat. While the dining options were decent, I found the breakfast and dinner to lack a bit of flair. It was a bit inconvenient when the bar closed early, leaving not much to do in the evenings. Overall, the setting was gorgeous and definitely worth it, but some improvements in food quality and evening activities would enhance the experience.

I had an incredible stay at the resort, tucked away in a serene location that felt like a hidden paradise. The staff was exceptionally accommodating and organized an amazing package for my visit, which included meals and transportation. However, not all aspects were perfect, as I faced some challenges with my room's location and amenities. Overall, the experience was delightful but had some room for improvement, particularly in regard to specific room choices.

Rooms

My room was spacious, but I was disappointed with its location far from the river view. It felt aged and had an overpowering wooden smell initially, which eased after turning on the air conditioning. Overall, it was acceptable but could use some modern touches.

The resort is beautifully located in the jungle, providing a peaceful ambiance. However, it was quite a trek from my room to dining areas, which isn't ideal, especially when traveling with elderly companions.
