Exactly what we were told :)
Daintree Crocodylus are very clear in what they are and what they are not. We found their advice to be very accurate. Yes, they are "very JUNGLY" and that was great for us. My two kids had a great time and really enjoyed being in the rain forest with all the sounds. We met lots of great people in the communal area. We purchased food and it was great (leaning toward spicy for dinners so you might want to consider that with kids). My wife was impressed with the cleanliness of the toilets and showers. Check-in is casual. You can usually turn up about 12pm and check your room out. Actual formal checkin is at 5pm. I'd recommend exploring more of the Daintree and then arriving later for a swim in their pool. DC give good advice on what you can do. Before crossing the car ferry on the way up, consider doing a crocodile cruise at Daintree Village with Daintree Crocodiule Tours or similar. We did this and it saved an extra car ferry trip ($$). Saw 3 crocs :)

What a wonderful surprise to stay at this property. The tent style accommodation was a bit confronting at first, but as soon as you lay down and listened to the wildlife outside you soon realised how special Crocodylus is. Getting your bags to your gut was a bit of an effort, but, hey, how much “stuff” do you really need? We enjoyed our two night stay very much and would tell anyone interested to give it a go. Obviously, it’s not a 5 Star Hotel, but does offer something different that not all 5 Star Hotels can/do.

Jungle experience.
Gorgeous setting. Friendly welcome. Tents are solid as they withstood a very windy and rainy night. We didn't mind the limited availability of power. Food was tasty. One minor suggestion to managment - blankets could do with replacement.
