    5/5
    Absolutely amazing!! We stayed in river lodge and everything is perfectly fine as photo shown on the apps. The large spacious glass dining area are so remarkable! The eco-friendly and tropical forest surrounding is really good for travellers who look for wellness and quietness. Inside the park provides you easy trail to waterfall and hanging wooden bridge so you donโ€™t need to plan so much. I will definitely stay in river lodge again among all the other chalets choices โ€ฆ
