    stunning waterfall
    peaceful atmosphere
    friendly staff
    wi-fi issues
    noise interruptions
    humidity concerns

    The waterfall view from the King Room Garden View was stunning. I loved waking up to the sound of it every morning. The bamboo grounds were a hidden gem that offered peaceful walks and beautiful scenery. Breakfast on the patio each day featured fresh, delicious options like fruit and waffles. The staff members were generally friendly and accommodating. However, there were a few issues worth noting. The lack of air conditioning made the room feel quite humid, especially at night. The Wi-Fi connectivity was spotty in our room, which was frustrating. We also experienced some noise from nearby rooms that disrupted the tranquility at times. Still, the unique atmosphere and beautiful nature made for a memorable stay.

    limited breakfast
    check-in difficulties

    The waterfall view from my room was breathtaking, and I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere while sitting on the lanai. However, the Wi-Fi connection was unreliable, and I found the breakfast timing a bit limited. Overall, it's a great retreat for those looking to connect with nature.

    What a fantastic experience! The stunning waterfall views were breathtaking, and I loved exploring the lush bamboo grounds. While the cabin could use some better furnishings, I'd definitely come back again!

    great waterfall views
    private chef dinner
    fun group activities
    confusing bathroom situation

    Had an amazing time with friends! We loved waterfall rappelling and relaxing. The private chef made the best meal, and the scenic views are unreal. Definitely check out the kayaking and farm tours too. It’s a unique getaway with lots to explore and unwind together.

    One downside was the confusion about where to find the bathroom. Initially, we were directed to the staff bathroom, which was frustrating, but it got sorted in the end.

    noisy waterfall

    great views but noisy waterfall

    The private dining experience exceeded our expectations with beautiful presentations and a variety of courses. The friendly staff made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived, adding a personal touch to our stay.

    The constant sound of the waterfall, while soothing for some, may not be for everyone, especially for light sleepers.

    tranquil escape
    picturesque surroundings
    disruptive noise
    room size
    dining limitations

    Staying for two nights in the King Room Garden View was a remarkable experience. The picturesque rainforest surroundings provided a tranquil escape, and the on-site waterfall created a peaceful atmosphere right from the room. Breakfast with fresh local fish on the patio was a highlight, though at times, the loud frogs could be disruptive at night. Delighting in the opportunity to paddle around the shimmering waterfall pool made for a truly memorable adventure.
