I had a delightful stay at this resort spa, where the cozy atmosphere and amenities really stood out. The rooms were spacious and decorated nicely, although I did notice quite a few insects around. The service was incredibly attentive, and the cocktails were delightful, but the location posed a bit of a challenge with taxi navigation. Overall, it was good value for money, especially considering the quality of dining and facilities on hand.

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.
