Delicious Vegetarian Feast

The dining experience was simply really good. The vegetarian buffet offered a wide range of delicious options, and the food was sourced locally, making it fresh and flavorful. I particularly enjoyed dining by the river, where breakfast was uniquely arranged for added charm. It was a amazing treat for someone who appreciates healthy eating.

Nature at Its Best

The resort provided wonderful outdoor activities that allowed me to connect with nature. I went on a guided trek to a secluded waterfall, where I enjoyed a refreshing swim. The tranquility and natural beauty of the surroundings made it a nice part of my experience.

Charming Jungle Retreat

The room I stayed in was charming and spacious, offering a unique jungle feel. With no distractions like a TV or Wi-Fi, it was a perfect opportunity to disconnect and enjoy the serene environment. The relaxing sounds of the river made for a peaceful night's sleep, enhancing my rejuvenation during this getaway.

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.

Ella Jungle Resort offers a unique experience deep in the jungle, perfect for those looking to unplug and relax. The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed with great views, creating a comfortable environment. However, the remote location requires a bumpy journey, and the dining options are limited, which might not suit everyone’s taste. Overall, it's a great eco-friendly option if you're prepared for a non-traditional stay.
