The reserve covers 100 acres of tropical rainforest, where you are more than welcome to explore. The lodge has built paths within the reserve for all fitness levels, so you can go for a meandering stroll or an intense hike up to the top of the land. Thatched huts have been built throughout the trail system. There is always a place to rest and rejuvenate.

No detail is too small, which you will see when you as you wander about. You will feel like you are staying in the middle of nowhere with the amenities of a five-star resort.
