Accommodation

There's a total of 60 Jungle Chalets (good for families as some are able to interconnect) and 8 Beach Chalets which are closer to the beach and are raised up into the jungle canopy on stilts. Some of the Beach Chalets also have sea views. Each chalet is spacious and has all the comforts needed for the modern traveler, including air-conditioning and wifi.

Activities & Experiences
