Ylang Ylang is a hidden gem right where the jungle meets the ocean. The accommodations are unique and comfortable, with amazing views and a relaxing vibe. The staff truly goes above and beyond to ensure a great experience, and the dining options are delightful, especially for those looking for vegan choices. However, the travel to get there requires some planning, and the Wi-Fi can be spotty at times.
