Charming Cabanas!

The cabanas at Explorean Kohunlich are beautifully designed and offer a sense of privacy that I loved. Each morning, I enjoyed my coffee on the porch while spotting exotic birds. The rooms were tastefully decorated, and the shower overlooking a private back garden was a good touch!

Relaxing Pool Experience!

The pool was a lovely area to unwind, surrounded by nature. What made it lovely was the experience of swimming under the night sky, accompanied by the sounds of the jungle. I couldn’t believe how serene and beautiful it was; it really set the tone for a perfect vacation!

Absolutely loved my stay at this wonderful resort in the jungle! The bungalows were spacious and comfortable, providing a calm atmosphere. The all-inclusive dining experience was delicious, but the attempts at fancy dinner options didn't quite hit the mark. The only downside was a rather aggressive timeshare salesperson. Overall, great value for money and unforgettable experiences await.
