Summary: A unique experience for outdoor activities, including nature hikes, canopy trams, swimming, Nature exhibits, birds, animals and everything rainforest. The hotel rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. The food was fresh, tasty and plentiful, however, we found the buffet breakfast and lunch to be a bit pricey, if you are an older person with a small appetite like us. In our younger years, it would have been a good value proposition. We always enjoy our visits here and will return again. The staff are very friendly and helpful. For jungle activities, lightweight long pants and insect repellent are helpful. Amazing fauna can be appreciated up close.

Summary: Food is amazing, I especially loved the gluten and lactose free options! Chef's and staff there are world class. The views are breathtaking! The grounds are so nicely taken care of and such an amazing theme and variety of tropical plants! A few cautions that may be helpful to some travelers who have limited mobility. There's a lot of stairs or ramps to get down to the pool area. I don't believe there's traditional AC, the rooms seem to have a built in swamp cooler and a separate floor dehumidifier. There's no surprise that it's a humid climate, but I was still a little taken back at just how much water the dehumidifier pulled out of the air. Probably 3-4 gallons per day. The issue is the by product of a dehumidifier running is it produces heat which in turn negates some of the cooling ability of the swamp cooler. On average the room would be in the 19-21 Celsius range. So if you're used to colder conditions etc, you may not be as comfortable. But, the contrast from outside to inside of the room makes a big difference and you are able to cool down. In my opinion the resort should upgrade to mini-split AC units for each room. And also vent the hot air output of the de-humidifiers outside. Overall a lifetime experience there and I wouldn't let the AC stop someone from going, just don't expect western hotel or home like AC.
