We were staying at two different resorts: Riverside and Riverfront. They were completely different. Riverside was in the middle of a jungle so it was a bit hard at the beginning to get used to all these animals and insects. On the other hand, it was so calm and close to the nature. Riverfront was closer to the town and had this AMAZING… read more
