“Good food and Good Company”

Reviewed 23 May 2012 NEW

A unique experience in the rain forest. When you first arrive you notice the candles in the trees and shortly after are received with glasses of champagne and hor devours and given a short period of time to meet the other diners. Then you are taken on a short walk to the dining area and from there you are served... More

“Such a disappointment!”

Reviewed 10 May 2012

person found this review helpful

Food quality for price is the major factor in suggesting future dinners choose elsewhere,a very sub standard meal. Setting was nice but not spectacular and only 2 waitress to serve dinner and drinks to 30+ guests. I think it says something that flames of the forest hire someone to respond to negative feedback to salvage their reputation rather than refunding... More

Dear adamc800, Oh dear! We are terribly embarrassed by the behaviour of the bus company and have taken up your comments with them this morning. Our reservations staff member remembers taking your call regarding the lost pouch and followed up immediately with them so is consequently very annoyed at what you had to go through to retrieve it. We agree... More

Being in the tropics the weather can be a little unpredictable, hence the beautiful black silk canopy with crystal chandeliers. We do find many of our guests venture out from under this romantic space to... More
