My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. The natural surroundings and abundant greenery were enchanting, creating a feeling close to nature. The lush environment made it an exceptional getaway, ideal for escaping daily stress. However, I found the dining experience lacking, particularly with the a la carte options that fell flat on taste. Additionally, the room's amenities and maintenance could use improvement, as I faced challenges with the air conditioning during my stay.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. On the positive side, the property is spacious and surrounded by beautiful trees, which made my stay relaxing. The food was delightful, and the staff's efforts really shone through, especially during my interactions with the manager. However, the cleanliness was a significant issue, particularly with the pool, and there seemed to be a lack of organization at check-in and in the dining area.

The resort has a stunning property, but the overall experience was marred by poorly managed services. While we appreciated the spacious villa we stayed in, the inefficiency of the staff and maintenance issues left much to be desired. Dining was a hassle with long waits and lackluster meals, and the pool's cleanliness could use significant attention.

Rooms

We were pleasantly surprised to have a large villa instead of a typical hotel room, offering great value for money. However, the twin beds pushed together did cause some back pain due to the gap.

I had an unforgettable stay at this resort, feeling completely pampered in a serene environment with attentive staff who genuinely cared for my comfort. The room was spacious and exceptionally clean, and the lush surroundings created a tranquil atmosphere. However, there were some issues with the air conditioning, and the infrastructure seemed to need some updates. Overall, I’d highly recommend it for a relaxing getaway, though some improvements would elevate the experience even further.
