I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the positive side, the room was spacious and clean with a very comfortable new bed and a reliable hot shower. However, they missed some essentials like a bin and hand towels, and the lack of bedding for our son's bed was disappointing. While the service was quite helpful, the dining left a lot to be desired. Overall, it offered decent value for money despite these setbacks.

I had a really nice time at the hotel, with tastefully designed rooms featuring lovely rain showers and a huge bed. The dining options were fantastic, especially the curry for dinner, set in a beautiful location surrounded by tranquil gardens. However, the seclusion of the area meant there were limited facilities on site, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with excellent value for money.

I recently stayed at this resort and found it a mixed experience. The rooms were quite lovely and had a nice garden out front, but I did notice some standards that could be improved upon. The service was outstanding, with staff going out of their way to assist us. However, the location was very secluded, making it challenging to get simple things done without a long search. The dining experience had its ups and downs as well, with the dinner being excellent but breakfast options quite limited.
