Pros:

Definitivamente cada vez que voy me sorprende, es un hotel en medio de la naturaleza

Cons:

Lo único es un sonido que proviene supongo que de la cocina del hotel como de un motor puesto, que si se escucha algo en la habitación de la villas que están cerca de la cocina.

Pros:

Tout était vraiment bien : les bungalows bien équipés et dispersés dans la nature, les piscines, le restaurant, le personnel très agréable.
Il était même possible de faire une petite balade dans la jungle au départ de l'hôtel, et de voir quelques animaux (même dans l'enceinte de l'hôtel).
