i stayed for several nights and enjoyed the unique features. the rope bridge added a fun element, and the natural pools were a nice touch. the staff was friendly, and always greeted me warmly and asked about my day, which i found quite personable. given were very good too assist with my bookings and tour guide contacts.
the hotel lacked a proper gym. i love to work out and a small, well-equipped fitness center would have significantly enhanced my experience. there were no designated facilities for exercise.

i found the restaurant somewhat limited. the buildings containing the rooms had poor sound insulation. i could hear everything happening around me with the neighbours. this lack of privacy detracted from the overall experience, which i found quite disappointing. i expected better considering the hotel's reputation.
