We enjoyed our stay here.
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay here. The luxury tent accommodation was fun. The A/C worked well. The pool was refreshing. The buffet breakfast was ok. The resident monkeys entertained us by playing on our balcony and running over our roof.

Cons:

The pool was a little cloudy - it could have been clearer.

Pros:

Scam beware . Option for room only is untrue he will make you pay for the safari or cancel your room
This was a scam. We booked the room only option and once we arrived the manager told us if we didn’t book the safari too through him he would cancel our rooms and we’d have to find alternative accommodation. At half 9 at night, two girls being told they would be kicked out if they didn’t comply was very threatening and made us feel very uncomfortable.
(Also no towel in one room, no sheet in the other and no WiFi but the forced safari kinda trumped those little things)

Agréable et reposant
Pros:

Les piscines sont très chouettes et propres. Il y a beaucoup de singes dans les arbres mais c’est très choupi. Les sortes de maisons sont spacieuses, propres et agréable. La salle de bain dehors rajoute un petit plus.

Cons:

Le jet de la douche est très faible et la lumière le matin entre dans les chambres.

The hotel is good, the food is good, the location is good, but they change the bill and increase the
Cons:

I made the booking through booking.com, and the hotel didn't show me the full amount on the bill, it was the price. They made a separate bill and charged me a different amount.
