The Golden Retreat's description is precisely as described, and then some. Getting there was easy, and the drive enjoyable. At arrival, we were greeted with the most astonishing view of the rainforest surrounds.

The pool house studio is full of unexpected niceties, both useful and aesthetically pleasing. He even has a hair dryer, rarely found at other 5-star accommodations! The kitchenette has everything requried to cook and serve meals. He provides a large propane grill, outside dining area, and even a mosquito coil. The bathroom blew my mind! It's a huge room with space for storing personal items, the tallest shower head, and impeccable view of trees outside its window.
Swimming in the pool with the awesome sunsets was a treat. Even though the daily temperature wasn't sweltering, the pool was refreshing and super clean.
Paul himself is a gregarious and delightful character. He had sound advice about visiting the area, where to get local produce and goodies, and where to eat. He invited us for dinner (it helps to be cool), and prepared a special barra recipe we won't soon forget. Paul was such fun, but also left us on our own to enjoy our escape from the city.
