The resort is beautifully designed with lovely water features and a tropical dining area. The daily room cleaning was appreciated, with fresh bottled water provided. However, the room did have some issues with insects, and the overall furnishings were quite basic. The service was helpful during the nature walk but felt a bit stretched during meal times. The value is reasonable, but there are definitely areas needing improvement.
