Now, I consider myself a nature and animal lover… in theory. But when it comes to actual wildlife encounters (especially monkeys), I tend to be a bit more cautious. I’m naturally quite jumpy, so yes, I startled at monkey shrieks, rustling bushes, and even a rogue rat making a surprise appearance at the rooftop garden. The resort does have pest control, but let’s be honest – you’re living in nature, not just near it.
That said, once I made it safely back to my room, it was hard not to feel completely at peace. The view of the reservoir, the lush greenery and the absence of noise (aside from nature’s soundtrack).
It turns out, you can experience the wild without sacrificing comfort.
