Tranquil Rainforest Escape
private bungalow natural design walking space helpful staff
The villas are spaced well apart, providing privacy and quiet. The natural design of the pools includes rocks and waterfalls. There were many walking spaces to explore the grounds. I found the staff helpful and attentive to all requests.
I noticed a few lights along the pathways were not working. It made navigating at night slightly challenging.
Location
9/10
The hotel is nestled in a rainforest setting, complete with coconut groves. I also observed fine coastal views and a beautiful beach easily accessible. The environment offered more wildlife sightings than the Daintree forest itself.
Dining
8/10
The main restaurant provides lovely views. I found that the food quality was good with huge portions. The restaurant also catered well to specific dietary requirements, offering vegetarian and gluten-free options.
Rooms
10/10
The room featured comfortable beds ensuring restful sleep. A modern, clean bathroom provided two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. The air conditioning system worked effectively to maintain a comfortable temperature.

bungalow stay, some issue happen
broken jacuzzi hidden minibar
the nature walk was a highlight. brett was amazing during it.
i booked dinner months in advance asking for the best table. i even called to reconfirm. when i arrived, the best tables were taken, no table was reserved for me. the jacuzzi didnt work all week and there wasn't sunbathing near the pool. the minibar menu was hidden, so i assumed the pringles were complimentary.
