The manager and some of the staff were friendly, which we appreciated during our stay. We paid for the spa, lunch, and dinner package for our 5-day visit, and overall enjoyed the amenities. On our last day, we decided to purchase a few drinks offsite to enjoy by the pool. However, a waiter approached us rather rudely, stating that he would “let us finish our last drink” but would not tolerate outside beverages at the pool. While we understand the policy, the way it was addressed felt unnecessary and left a poor impression on our final day. I do not think we will stay there again.

The resort is definitely nice. The staff is EXCELLENT! They are so nice and accommodating. The reasons why I wouldn’t stay there again are due to our preferences. Everything is very far away. To get from the room to restaurant, pool, etc you have to walk outdoors on a big hill. Nothing is convenient at this resort. To get to the beach you literally have to hike. It’s a beautiful hike but not very relaxing. If you stay here, make sure you have a car because there isn’t anything within comfortable walking distance.

Property needs bit of a facelift not as luxurious as I thought it would be from photos It was a weekend when we arrived so lots of locals had come to the hotel and music and sports matches on the TVs were blasting out by the pool, quiter and more relaxing on Monday Surrounding trees and views were lovely and great seeing monkeys and birds snd a sloth from our balcony which was such a highlight Room 326 had a great balcony for wildlife spotting Breakfast was average
