The Last Frontier Boutique Resort

8/10 Good
"Excellent location but not for those with fitness and mobility issues. Excellent host and range of activities provided such as jungle walk and river cruise. Food plentiful. No WiFi but good phone signal. Host provides excellent transport to and from the airport as it is 2 hours away."
