Things to Consider

While the retreat’s remote location enhances its charm, it may be challenging for guests seeking urban conveniences or nightlife activities.

The eco-focused approach means some amenities like air conditioning are intentionally absent to promote sustainability, which may not suit every traveler’s preference for comfort.

Lastly, visiting during the rainy season might result in wetter conditions that could affect outdoor plans.
