reasonable rainforest stay

ocean view forest view breakfast egg tired cabin no extra bed coffee machine
our treehouse had a view of the ocean and the surrounding forest. i saw monkeys jumping around in the morning, we loved that. the buffet breakfast included an egg station, but refills sometimes took a long time.
The cabin was a little tired. it suited our purpose as we didn't stay in it very much just to sleep. There is a coffee machine. there are no extra beds made up, despite having two children. this was rectified eventually.
