Each of the rooms is very comfortable, large and really clean. There are 3 different room types of rooms which are all entirely unique in their own particular way.
Bandas– Fashionable designs, smaller as well as a more safe feeling with netting ceilings that keep you near nature as well as breathtaking view of the adjacent river.
Riverside tents-These large tents offer guests a great feeling as well as closeness to Mother Nature. These as well have direct views of the river.
Treetops– These on the other hand are tinnier than the previously mentioned riverside tents although they are more hidden in the center of the bush up on the platform. Certainly these are ideal for people interested in enjoying more privacy.
