Amazing resort and even more amazing staff! The property is gorgeous and lush. It has its own hanging bridge, nature walking trail, and frog and butterfly sanctuary. The buildings are spread out but shuttles/golf carts are available 24/7 to take you to and from various places in the resort. The pool is lovely, with a large warmed area where the swim up bar is located. The restaurant and hotel food is delicious! I would 100% stay here again!
