Hotel is very dated

Unfortunately the cabins are not suitable for 4 people. The tv didn’t work! The rooms were dated. The best thing about the hotel was the bar where staff and guests were very friendly. Not a place I would stay again nor class as 3 star

Very good experience with everything. Staff were helpful and friendly. The bungalows are large and very unique. Close enough to the city but far enough away to feel safe. Great location next to the jungle and the river walk. The Howler monkeys woke us up early each morning but that was part of the whole experience. Very good food at the onsite restaurant as well. We would definitely stay there again.
