Relaxing Spa Services

I treated myself to a wonderful massage at the spa right next to the infinity pool. The ambiance was peaceful with the sounds of nature around me. It was a perfect break from the heat of the day and left me feeling completely rejuvenated.

Well-Maintained Pool Area

The pool area was one of my favorite spots to unwind after a day of exploring. Surrounded by well-maintained gardens and shady mango trees, it was an inviting place to cool off and relax. I loved spending my afternoons there, enjoying the serene environment.

This resort spa is such a beautiful place to unwind, surrounded by nature with stunning views of rice fields and mountains. The rooms are spacious and situated in a mango grove, providing a tranquil sanctuary. While the dining options were tasty, there could be a bit more variety to choose from. Overall, it's excellent value for money with the luxury villas offering a wonderful experience.

However, the dining options were somewhat limited, especially at breakfast, and the pool area could use better maintenance.

I had a lovely three-night stay at the hotel, which had a beautiful setting and friendly, helpful staff. The room I stayed in was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and I enjoyed relaxing by the excellent pool. However, the dining experience could improve as the wine was quite pricey, and the breakfast spread was somewhat limited and not well covered from flies.

I had a rather unpleasant experience at this hotel. While the surroundings are beautiful, the accommodation and service left much to be desired. I encountered multiple issues with cleanliness and the staff's honesty, making it a less-than-ideal stay. However, the beautiful grounds do offer a nice backdrop.

The first room I was shown was not clean at all and had several maintenance issues, but after moving to a villa, it was larger and in the newer part of the complex. However, it still wasn't really clean.
