Reviews:
‘A very intimate unique hotel nestled within the rainforest away from the noise. The service at the hotel is top class and eating breakfast in bed every morning is just so relaxing. The infinity edge pool looks like it goes forever and the view from the edge is mesmerizing. A true luxury hotel.’

‘Large unique rooms with kitchens, stunning views and great balconies and large private gardens. The hotel offers the best accommodation in the area and the food at the restaurant some of the best in the region. The wildlife that surrounds the grounds is just astonishing, it’s nice to wake up to monkeys playing in the trees!!’

‘The secluded villas are all air conditioned and very private, a great place just to escape from life for a couple of days.’
