Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want to disappear into the rainforest with your significant other and not see another human soul for 48 hours.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- Floor-to-ceiling glass windows that make you feel like you're sleeping in the jungle
- Double spa baths in every cabin designed specifically for two people
- Complete privacy—meals are delivered discreetly so you never have to leave your room
Brzi pregled: It’s a high-end honeymoon factory that delivers exactly the seclusion it promises, provided you're okay with heating up your own dinner.
Pregledano od @ams: I stayed here for a romantic weekend and it was pure magic. The glass walls make you feel like you're sleeping outside, but with total luxury. We spent hours just watching the mist roll over the mountains from the hot tub. It's the ultimate disconnect.

5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što krenete
💡The 'creek' sounds are real, but in dry season, it might be more of a trickle than a rush.
💡You are responsible for cooking your own breakfast if you order the hamper—it's not room service.
💡The drive in can be a bit winding and narrow; arrive before dark if you're not confident on country roads.
💡There are 1,500 movies in the DVD library, which is a charmingly retro touch for a rainy night.
💡The 'rainforest' means real darkness at night—bring a nightlight if you're scared of the pitch black.
