Not for me
I want to start off this review by saying that I am someone who loves the outdoors, hiking, camping etc. I’ve hiked Kilimanjaro and done 2 week treks before. That being said, this lodge was maybe too extreme nature for me. I hope this review is helpful because when I was booking I didn’t see enough like this
Pros
-right in the nature, very remote not that close to Main Street
-service was great
-river right next to hotel
-good breakfast
Cons
-huge lizards in our room
-hardly any barrier to the outside (holes in floor and walls) so tons of creatures can get into the room
-our treehouse stairs were treacherous and we are physically fit 20 year olds. I’m not sure how someone much older would be able to navigate these stairs every day let alone with bags
-no AC (this was a killer for us given that it was close to 35C/95F during the day and didn’t really cool down that much at night. They provided fans but we were still dripping all night)
-20 minute walk to town to go to restaurants and in the stifling heat and humidity this was brutal
Unfortunately because we couldn’t sleep the first night due to heat we ended up leaving 2 nights early. If you want a very remote, VERY rustic stay then this place is for you. Truly felt like camping in the jungle.
