点评:We spent two nights at Palmarium Reserve. The trip by fast boat to arrive at the property is reminiscent of scenic amazonian destinations. The hotel is perched on a small hill directly above the lake. The property is run with passion by friendly staff and to us it was another very positive experience. We were assigned a two story family bungalow with two double beds, so we could decide whether to sleep on the ground floor or on the first floor, both floors featuring separate bathrooms. Both rooms were very clean, comfortable and decorated with taste. Palmarium is a remote eco-lodge, therefore there is a daily power schedule which guests need to take into consideration (i.e. no 24/7 electricity). Water pressure is low and is heated by wood-fired boilers, so some patience is needed especially very early in the morning. We also hint to carry some shower gel and shampoo as an extra for the stay. The property features a curio shop where vanilla pods can be purchased along with various artisanal artwork. Food was very good (rich breakfast and twice a daily menu + à la carte options). Many lemurs species will stroll around, not shy of any close contact with visitors, allowing for easy but stunning close-up photos. Their very loud cry will not pass unnoticed. A night walk into the forest to spot the shy Aye-Aye crowned our stay. In spite of the remote location, payment of the extras thru credit card was not an issue. Our experience was very positive, but we urge fellow travelers to research accurately and well in advance about destinations, especially if they travel with limiting conditions, idiosyncrasies or health issues. Wise & appropriate expectation management is a crucial asset needed to plan for trips into wilderness & to remote lodges.
翻译:我们在帕尔玛瑞姆保护区住了两晚。乘坐快艇抵达酒店的旅程让人联想起亚马逊雨林的壮丽景色。酒店坐落在湖边一座小山上。酒店由热情友好的员工精心经营,给我们留下了非常美好的印象。我们被安排入住一栋两层家庭别墅,里面有两张双人床,我们可以选择睡在一楼或二楼,两层楼都设有独立的浴室。两个房间都非常干净舒适,装饰也很有品味。帕尔玛瑞姆是一家偏远的生态旅馆,因此每天的电力供应都有时间限制,客人需要注意(并非24小时供电)。水压较低,热水由燃木锅炉加热,所以尤其是在清晨,需要一些耐心。我们也建议客人自带一些沐浴露和洗发水。酒店内设有一家纪念品商店,出售香草荚和各种手工艺术品。食物非常棒(丰盛的早餐和每日两餐的套餐,还有单点菜品)。许多种类的狐猴会在附近漫步,它们并不怕与游客近距离接触,因此可以轻松拍摄到令人惊艳的近距离照片。它们响亮的叫声也一定不会被忽略。夜间漫步森林寻找害羞的指猴,为我们的旅程画上了完美的句号。尽管位置偏远,但用信用卡支付额外费用并没有遇到任何问题。我们的体验非常棒,但我们建议其他旅行者在出行前务必做好充分的准备工作,特别是那些有特殊情况、习惯或健康问题的旅行者。合理规划行程,合理预期,对于前往荒野或偏远旅馆的旅行至关重要。
