Lovely Relaxation

I had a lovely experience at the spa during my stay. The massages were soothing, even if not as luxurious as I've had elsewhere. The atmosphere was serene, surrounded by nature, which added to the overall relaxation. It was a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.

Spacious Floating Villas

My floating villa was incredibly spacious and designed with comfort in mind. The large balcony was my favorite spot, providing a perfect view of the river and jungle. Each evening, I loved sitting there with a drink, enjoying the tranquil setting.

Unique Atmosphere

The blend of natural beauty and comfort was striking. The sound of the river gently flowing beneath the floating house created a peaceful background. I appreciated the high-speed Wi-Fi that allowed me to stay connected while enjoying this unique experience.
