Ram Tzul is a privately‑owned ecological reserve that spans more than 100 hectares of highland cloud forest. The reserve promotes conservation through reforestation, bamboo cultivation, and the protection of native flora and fauna. Visitors can hike several forest trails, including the route to the Rubel Chaim waterfall, which drops roughly 60 meters.

At its core, Ram Tzul features a rustic eco‑hotel built primarily in bamboo, stone, and wood. The design is modest and aligned with nature, supporting a tranquil retreat rather than luxury resort-style amenities. According to the reserve’s managers, its mission is strongly tied to ecological education, biodiversity, and sustainable tourism.

Room Specifications
The accommodations consist of eco-cabins constructed with sustainable materials like bamboo, wood, and stone. Each cabin includes a private bathroom with hot water. The layout emphasizes harmony with the forest: cabins are placed to blend into the landscape rather than dominate it. Barrier-free or accessible paths are noted in reserve documentation, making navigation possible for guests with mobility needs.

Hotel Amenities / Facilities
Ram Tzul has a restaurant on site, housed within the bamboo‑and-wood architecture of its main lodge. For communal relaxation, there are outdoor terraces, forest viewpoints, and peaceful seating areas integrated into the natural terrain. The reserve maintains marked hiking trails, rivers, and natural pools, giving guests the freedom to explore without necessarily hiring a guide. A camping zone is available for guests who prefer to stay closer to nature, and horseback riding is offered for those who want to traverse the forest on horseback.

Rooms

Jardin Room
The Jardín Room provides a quiet setting with a queen bed, private bathroom, and garden views. The room offers a simple, nature-focused atmosphere designed for comfort after a day of exploring the reserve.
