Rainforest Retreat

Rainforest Retreat

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay in the Deluxe Tree Lodge, but encountered two issues. When we arrived, the heater was not working, but the staff very quickly addressed that situation. The bathroom had an intermittent sewer smell coming up from the pipes, but it was not a problem as long as we left the bathroom fan running continuously. Given the relatively high price for this accommodation, I can only give it four stars."
