Pethers Rainforest Retreat is a unique spot surrounded by stunning rainforest views, providing a sense of peace and seclusion. The tree houses are beautifully designed, offering a comfortable stay, but there were notable hiccups with the dining experience, especially for those with dietary needs. The attention to detail in service could also be improved, making it a mix of great ambiance but some letdowns in execution.

My experience at the resort was a mix of wonderful aspects and some areas needing improvement. The location is absolutely stunning, offering a peaceful escape in the rainforest. While our accommodation was spacious and beautifully appointed, we encountered several maintenance issues that detracted from our overall experience.
