Staying at the resort was a quite refreshing experience amidst nature, though it was not quite in the jungle as I had imagined. The rooms were decent, but they could definitely use more lighting. The staff were helpful in planning activities, but the food was on the pricier side for what was offered. Additionally, the many mosquitoes and frequent power cuts were quite bothersome during my stay.
