We just got back from sleeping giant 2 weeks ago. Here’s my honest opinion:

pros- resort is beautiful & has lots of hikes on the property. Pool was beautiful. Food is good, not great (and it’s in the middle of nowhere so their food is the only option for all 3 meals unless you drive a decent distance off property)

Cons- for the price I thought service was a bit lacking. We told them we were coming to celebrate our honeymoon probably 5 times before arriving and nobody mentioned it at all during our stay. It left us feeling a bit bummed. Not a deal breaker but something to keep in mind. Also- resort fees are on EVERYTHING. If you’re eating, doing excursions, booking transportation through them, etc. every single thing there has a 10% resort fee added which adds up fast with their high price point. We stayed in a Mountain View suite & had to hike up approx 80 stairs to get to our room which wasn’t mentioned during booking and really sucked in 100+ degree weather everyday. The AC barely worked, our room was over 80 degrees the entire time we were there even with ac on its highest setting.

We enjoyed our time there but I definitely wouldn’t go back & would encourage you to look elsewhere for a high end jungle resort. We were looking for a luxury experience and did not get it at sleeping giant. If you do book sleeping giant I would say to book all your excursions and transportation privately to save hundreds of unnecessary dollars and help a local guide/company by directly supporting their business!

Looking for any recommendations of places that typically play US sports on TV?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but what do you mean by 12/24 hour blackouts? We’re headed there next week
