+ Lovely room with view of rainforest.

- Small room, 2 small hot tubs were very far away from the deluxe rooms and were not adequate for the number of guests.

+ Good location. Partly a backpackers hostel.

- Some night- time noise from upstairs. Stairs to upper level adjacent to room so no privacy unless curtains were closed

+ Incredible location, we could see the glacier from window. The hotel offers a nice affordable restaurant. Beds were comfortable and it was nice to have a small kitchenette.

- The hotel is a bit noisy at night. Also we had to carry our luggage up the stairs to the second floor since there were no lifts which could be impossible for a person with walking disability.

+ Wir haben in der Deluxe Tree Lodge übernachtet - und das war ein Traum. Die Deluxe Lodges sind wirklich Deluxe ausgestattet. Eine Raindusche, ein sehr bequemes Bett, eine tolle Aussicht. Alles sehr durchdacht. Die Lodges stehen auf Baumpfählen, unter der Lodge ist jeweils der Parkplatz. Die Anlage ist groß, aber sehr ruhig. Schön ist auch, dass mit der Monsoon Bar ein tolles Restaurant direkt vor der Anlage liegt. Hier konnten wir sowohl ein leckeres Frühstück als auch ein tolles Abendessen bekommen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

- Nichts zu kritisieren.
