Avoid - for the rates this hotel charges, there are much better options in the surroundings

Liked:The surroundings of the hotel are great.

Disliked:I would strongly recommend avoiding this property. It holds just a 3-star rating on Google, a far cry from the 5 stars listed on Booking.com. The photos on the booking site appear to be several years out of date — the property is poorly maintained and bears little resemblance to what is advertised. We cancelled our reservation on the spot upon arrival. Despite the cancellation policy entitling us to a 50% refund, the hotel insisted the full amount had already been charged to our credit card and refused to issue any reimbursement.

Paradise in Nature

Liked:I fell in love with this resort as it’s Eco. Breathtaking views from your room with nature all around..I was lucky to see 10 huge hornbill birds out my window. And so much more. The rooms are so beautiful and private each one has their unique characteristics and charm. The management and staff are very genuine and attentive to all your needs. An amazing top notch chef with all organic fresh cuisine. A great place to chill and step away from the world. 🌟🪷🌟🪷

Wonderful staff, hotel needs a little care

Liked:Whereas the hotel grounds and rooms need a little loving care, the staff were out of this world -- so thoughtful and accommodating and wanting to please. The food was very good; enjoyed the cook's attention to our requests. Nice hotel at mid-range, good location and friendly ambiance.

Excellent stay with exceptional staff and amazing food

Liked:We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed every moment. Most importantly, we have never met staff like this in any hotel we have visited before. They genuinely cared about our comfort and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their warmth, attentiveness, and dedication made our stay very special. The food was exceptional. Although the variety was limited, every dish we tried was incredibly delicious and full of flavor. The quality and taste were outstanding, showing great care in preparation. The room was simply heaven. It was beautifully blended with nature, allowing us to feel fully connected to the natural surroundings. Waking up to the soothing sounds of birds and being surrounded by such beauty was truly refreshing. The room was also very spacious, comfortable, and offered a perfect view, creating a peaceful and calming atmosphere. The bathroom had a slight smell at times, but it was not a major concern. It would be even better if additional amenities such as conditioner, body lotion, and shower caps were provided for extra comfort. Overall, it was a memorable and relaxing stay, and we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful, nature-connected, and welcoming experience.
