Staying at the resort was an incredible experience, as it's nestled deep in the jungle, surrounded by nature and wildlife. The jungle trails were challenging but rewarding, and my guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about the local ecosystem. While the cabins were basic, they fit into the natural surroundings beautifully. However, the lack of planned activities on some days and the need for better communication about the treks could be improved.

My stay at Tabin Wildlife Resort was an unforgettable experience in the heart of the rainforest. The personal touches from our guide Rafel made it truly special, and the variety of wildlife we encountered was incredible. The dining options surpassed my expectations and the accommodations were quite comfortable. However, the steep climb to our lodge was quite exhausting, and some scheduled activities were canceled due to rain.

I had an amazing adventure at this resort, surrounded by stunning nature and fantastic wildlife experiences. The location is deep in the jungle, making it a perfect spot for those who love to explore. However, the accommodation could use some improvements, particularly regarding cleanliness, as I had an unsettling experience with rodent issues in my room. Overall, the guides were excellent, and the activities were truly memorable.
