lush escape

charming experienceimpeccably clean roomsdreamy settinglimited hours
i found the secluded jungle huts to be a very charming experience. the rooms were impeccably clean. the overall setting of the hotel felt very dreamy, a true escape.
the hotel is accessible only by boat, and the hotel boat service operates with limited hours. a private boat outside these hours costs extra. this transportation issue was a bit inconvenient.

The paths to the rooms are steep. I slipped twice. My girlfriend scraped her leg. Blackouts happened around 1 hour each time. On the last day, we did not have running water to shower or brush our teeth before checkout.
