jungle bliss!

beautiful sceneryfun experiencepool tablesunhygienic feeling
i adored the beautiful scenery. the walkways are a highlight. feeding fish from the deck was so fun and i watched monitor lizards swimming in the pond daily. the pool was well kept, with mushroom tables and a waterfall.
Our room was small and it felt unhygienic! the fan did not help much. the toilet was leaking. The bathroom had an odor because of it.
