"Our favorite part of Hotel Bambu was definitely the elevated covered walkways that we walked on to get to our room... it was such a fun way to get to our room, passing through rainforest basically...."

"Most interestingly, we saw a sloth, multiple howler monkeys, and different types of frogs, birds, and butterflies in the rainforest garden of the hotel."

"Interesting place, when we pulled up in front on a busy street we thought we had the wrong place but after parking around the back it had extensive raised covered walkways going into the forest with many units farther back."
