おすすめ

自然の中でのんびりと過ごせます。スタッフも親切です。宿泊者は無料でオランウータンの保護施設の見学ができますし、有料のアクティビティもあります。少し高いですがおすすめです。

野生動物などを楽しむためのホテル

カリマンタンのオランウータン保護区の中にあるホテルです。外界からは完全に隔絶されたところにあり、森の中にぽつんと立っています。傷ついたオランウータンなどを保護する施設がホテルのすぐそばにあり、いつでもオランウータンの姿が見られます。 このホテルに泊まるなら、オプショナルツアーで野生動物を見に行くのが一番でしょう。川に行くツアーでは、ボルネオ島にしかいないという猿（テングザル）が野生にいる姿を見ることが出来ました。他にもツアーがあるので、時間に余裕があれば数泊してもいいでしょう。 他の部屋はお湯がでないということなので最上階のスイートに泊まりましたが、とても気持ち良い部屋で、良かったです。部屋からは森が見渡せて、内装などもリゾートのレベルです。 ただホテル全体としては、食べ物やお酒の種類などは限られており、ホテル滞在型リゾートとして楽しむにはちょっと力不足でしょう。あくまで野生動物などを目的に行くことをお勧めします。ホテルの近所には売店など全くありませんので、スナックなどを持ち込むことをお勧めします。
