This resort, while fiendishly expensive, is beautifully set in replanted natural rainforest. Conservation is taken seriously here and emblematic is their iguana breeding and protection which has increased the endangered local crested iguana population tenfold in the last 10 years. They treat and rehabilitate any injured or diseased specimens. They breed and return young ones to the wild when full grown.






I followed this up with the steep 25 minute walk up to Lucas Point lookout. The heat was enervating and the views were somewhat obscured due to the vegetation it was still worthwhile.
