The staff was very friendly and helpful upon arrival. The tent had air conditioning, really needed due to the humid weather. All facilities (shower and toilet) were very clean. They recommended getting up early to watch the sunrise and join the complementary bird watching tour (i found it great).
The lighting inside the tent was limited. I could barely see my surroundings.
