Really good stay among nature
jungle atmosphere direct access many choices calming views
I greatly enjoyed the jungle-like atmosphere of the resort. It reminded me of an immersive experience with wildlife all around. having direct access to the pool from my room was fantastic. It made swimming convenient and relaxing. breakfast provided many choices. the main restaurant offered beautiful, calming views during dining.
i noticed a very faint musty smell upon entering my room at first. the pillows felt a little lumpy, impacting my sleep quality slightly.

The resort had beautiful breakfast. I also found fine surrounds there. It also had amazing service. The beach and pools were lovely!!!
I saw staff eating under the stairs at the hotel. They left some leftover food on the floor and tree trunks. This was not always cleaned up for a couple of days. It did not look good .
