Wow!!!! What a beautiful accommodation!!!! It felt like you really were in a rainforest with all the lush plants and trees around. Our unit was a bit small, but very, very nice. We did not have a freezer in our small refrigerator, but Reception gladly froze our ice packs for us. It’s an accommodation not to be missed!!!!!!

Lovely unit and stay, there wasn't as much privacy as expected for the deluxe retreat when we could see camper vans from the deck looking in towards our unit and not just rainforest canopy
