Reality check

- Housekeeping: Daily and thorough, though nature means leaves/bugs on balconies are inevitable.
- Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate modern fixtures, but the open-plan design makes 'hygiene' a visual concept.
- Maintenance: Generally excellent, though some wood decking shows wear from the humidity.
- Linens & towels: High-quality, crisp white linens that contrast beautifully with the wood/glass.
- Odors & scents: Fresh forest air, occasional kitchen smells near the restaurant.
