We stayed here as part of our honeymoon and paid a lot of money. However, what we got for the money was prabably the worst value place i have ever stayed in.
The pool is a positive health hazard with frogs in it. It was described as a fresh water pool, where as it looked more like a dirty pond.There is also no where to sit around the pool, except for one concrete bench.
The food, well, there is no choice, no menu, you get what you are given. On several occasions i had stated that i was vegetarian, only to be fed meat in the potato curry.
There is no written information on tours or activities, the website states bike hire is for free and they tried to charge us. There were dead ants in the bed and a light fitting falling out of the bathroom ceiling.
Also be aware of the road approaching the place, our driver had to stop before we reached the the end of the road as he simply could not cope with the very very rough road. He also damaged the bottom of his car.
The setting is lovely, that much is true.But this choice was a huge mistake for us and for the money. I have travelled extensively and slept in a wooden hut in the Amazon with no facilities. I enjoy roughing it, but not on my honeymoon and not for the price that was charged at this place.
