"The property itself was fantastic and the bungalow we stayed in was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the food at the restaurant. The staff were very accommodating and welcoming. We're going to miss the soothing sounds of the jungle at night, especially the beautiful native birds that perched in the garden every morning. We would definitely stay here again. "
