The retreat ensures a restful night with comfortable mattresses that guests find delightful, alongside clean and well-maintained linens. While the double beds receive high remarks for their comfort, feedback indicates that the single beds in the second bedroom may not match the plushness of their double counterparts. Overall, the retreat excels in providing a relaxing retreat aided by its inviting beds.

Cleanliness
Nestled in a tranquil setting, Leopard Valley Eco Retreat impresses guests with its overall dedication to cleanliness and comfort. The cabins are beautifully clean and tastefully decorated, offering a splendid stay that feels both comfy and cozy. Many visitors highlight the exceptional cleanliness across facilities, with bathrooms noted for being very clean and neat, benefiting from ample hot water even when shared between accommodations. In the kitchen, guests appreciate having utensils and appliances ready to use without needing extra cleaning. Linens and cabins receive general praise for their cleanliness, contributing to a relaxing and inviting atmosphere.

However, feedback points to occasional inconsistencies, such as some stained towels and linens, and certain areas like the bins and faucets needing more thorough cleaning. These issues, while noted, are considered minor and easy to address. Despite this, the overarching sentiment remains positive, as guests particularly enjoy the peaceful surroundings and beautiful views, creating a compelling case for a return visit.

Pool
The Leopard Valley Eco Retreat offers a diverse swimming experience for its guests. Many found the communal swimming pool to be a refreshing haven on hot days, with its cool water providing perfect relief from the heat. Guests also appreciated the natural aspect of one of the pools, which is chemical-free and embraces a bit of moss, offering a unique, rustic feel. Additionally, those seeking more privacy have the option of a private pool, although it's worth noting that some guests encountered issues with water availability.

While the concept of a community pool is promising, its upkeep received mixed feedback, with some visitors noting a green, off-putting appearance and occasional dirt such as foam and algae. The outdoor amenities complementing the pool area, including an outdoor shower, bath, and a very nice barbecue area, add to the overall retreat experience, providing a picturesque setting against a breathtaking view. However, the jacuzzi did not meet the expectations of cleanliness, which detracted from its appeal. Nonetheless, the retreat remains a serene getaway with its thoughtfully designed pool and outdoor areas.
