This resort offers an incredible experience deep in the jungle, with breathtaking views and a variety of unique activities. The rooms are spacious and clean, making for a comfortable stay, but the dining options left a lot to be desired as the variety was limited. The location is stunning, right next to a river, with plenty of natural beauty surrounding the property.

Staying at the resort was a truly unique experience, surrounded by breathtaking nature and captivating wildlife. The private cable car ride into the jungle set the perfect tone for our adventure, and the luxurious cabin provided comfort with stunning views. Although the dining options were consistently good, they might not appeal to everyone. Overall, it's a fantastic getaway that combines adventure and relaxation, though being in the jungle means you should expect some wild neighbors.

The resort offers a unique and tranquil escape nestled in the beautiful Namunukula mountain range, with incredible views and spacious rooms next to a river. The adventure activities are a great touch, but be prepared for limited dining options that may not cater to everyone's expectations. While the stay feels luxurious amidst the jungle, the food quality and variety need significant improvement, which can be a letdown after a long day of exploring.
