Villa in the Jungle

lovely place situated in a very isolated place. feels very close to nature. Hotel style is very natural. Hotel facilities in my eyes are not justifying the price level. e.g. Beds are very uncomfortable

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were incredibly helpful and kind and ensured we had a fantastic stay over 3 nights. The place is remote so having the staff to rely on is essential. For visiting the rainforest and an incredibly peaceful stay surrounded by nature we thoroughly recommend.

Luxury up a beautiful hill

The road to Rainforest edge is not good - and you can miss it. It's only partly tarmac, and that pitted. It's uphill, winding, and goes through a tea factory. But when you get there... It's like a medieval castle: great boulders below, tiled roofs above, and an infinity pool looking out over the mountains. Large comfortable rooms with efficent fans, and a bathroom and sitting space looking out over the valley. Dining under a timbered roof open to the air, with excellent food. The chef doesn't have to try - there's no competition within reach, but he's imaginative and clever - a range of delicious not-too-hot curries, mostly. The only complaint; wifi only available in the dining area, and it makes old-fashioned dial-up modems seem quick.
Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2018
