Mango Guest House
 The Mango
Guest House is a 2 storey accommodation that has 4 private rooms. Set in a
beautiful jungle garden area with mango trees on all sides and open views of
the surrounding rainforest. Each room has private entrance, beautiful
hardwood floors, private bathroom, private terrace, louver doors and windows
that wrap around the room to afford panoramic views. Rooms have queen beds
(or twin beds upon request) with mosquito netting and ceiling fans. The Mango
Guest House is separate from the Main Lodge.

The mango house is great for all types of travelers. Especially a good choice
for friends or families that want to be close, but also have the privacy of
your own room with private bathroom. Also great for single travelers or those
who are a bit nervous about staying in the jungle, as the mango rooms are more
in an open area then the private cabins that are tucked into the rainforest.
 Also
great for parties of approximately 6-10 that want to rent all 4 rooms at once.
One Bedroom Cabin
 These
cabins are very private and set apart from all other accommodations .Tucked
into the rainforest affording you a unique feeling of being in an amazing
natural setting, yet with design and comfort details that has been described
as simple yet jungle chic. Each cabin has a private entrance, beautiful
hardwood floors, private open air shower-bathroom, private terrace, louver
doors and windows that wrap around the room to afford panoramic views. Cabins
have queen beds (or twin beds upon request) with mosquito netting and ceiling
fans. The garden open air shower is within the cabin's bathroom, yet allows
you to look at nature all around. Look out for the peeping monkeys! 
Two Bedroom Cabin
 This
is a private cabin much like the single cabins but larger with two bedrooms
and a common den that can also be converted for another bedroom. This is a
great choice for families, especially with younger children. The cabin is set
at the edge of the jungle but only a few steps from the main lodge building.
Each cabin has a private entrance, beautiful hardwood floors, private open air
shower-bathroom, private terrace, mosquito netting over the beds, ceiling
fans, louver doors and windows that wrap around the room to afford panoramic
views of the jungle.  The cabin has one large bathroom complete with our signature
garden open air shower that is designed to allow you to look at nature all
around. The cabin can accommodate up to 5 people.  However,
we recommend that families with older children or groups of adults that want
to be near each other also consider two rooms in the mango guest house. Two
rooms in mango guest house will give you more privacy amongst your group and
an additional bathroom.
Cabin
Suite 
 The
new Cabin Suite is also very private and set apart from all other
accommodations. Tucked into the rainforest affording you a unique feeling of
being in an amazing natural setting, yet with design and comfort details that
have been described as simple, yet jungle-chic. The cabin has a private
entrance, beautiful hardwood floors, private open air shower-bathroom, private
terrace, mosquito netting over the beds, ceiling fans, louver doors and
windows that wrap around the room to afford panoramic views of the surrounding
jungle. The Cabin Suite is similar in size to the two bedroom cabin, but set
in a large loft like room with a removable partition wall to add flexible
space for families and groups. With the partition in place it creates two
large bedrooms that can accommodate 4 to 5 guests in a variety of bedding
options.  The Cabin Suite is also great for couples seeking more space,
as well as the luxury of a comfortable sitting area, set up with a couch and
chairs. This cabin also is equipped with a deluxe bathroom with two sinks and
our signature garden open air shower that is designed to allow you to look at
nature all around. And, don't forget about the Cabin Suite's additional
outside jungle shower for a completely wild shower experience!
