Pros +
- Clean, food and environment.
- I like the location, kitchen and bar onsite.
- The property was mother of nature and I liked it.
Cons -
- Not wheelchair friendly and the services very slow.
- Room was musky and for second stay not the best view. Felt like on 1st visit staff was very friendly and not as much the second time. Need fans in the room to get air circulated, windows couldn't be left open with monkeys onsite.
- The washroom. There was no window for the washroom and the water will move to exit. It is not safe at all

Nature.the garden
Monkeys broke into my room and damaged my stuffThe breakfast was monotonous same things everyday
Staff were very kind. Beautiful gardens. Excellent wifi everywhere on the premises. Good breakfast.
Rooms and bathrooms need upgrading. Overall, the place is quite noisy. A la carte dinner service is extremely slow.
Loved the quiet and calm environment, food was also great. The staff were amazing.
The room was cold but they provided us with an extra blanket
The beds and internet were good. Convenient that there was a restaurant on site. Staff was correct and proactive.
It served my purpose.
Helpful staff, good food, and a good night sleep.
The trees and nearby forest with lots of monkeys around, the staff were also friendly, breakfast was good.Good water pressure and availability of hot water too. No air-conditioning, but the room was always cool
They seemed to have lots of parties there everyday for the entire duration of my 5 nights at the hotel. Very noisy at night. WiFi stopped working overnight on two occasions.
Clean, quiet, amazing environment for family bonding time. The proximity of the facilities was amazing.
Receptionist lack of feedback after requesting for service. Example we asked for toothbrush in the evening, and we had to remind them in the morning.
I loved the aesthetic of the room and the location. The bed was very comfy and the staff were all so friendly.
The door to my bathroom had a broken handle and it got me panicking every time I had to use it. I thought I could get stuck. The breakfast was also underwhelming and not very friendly for a child.
I've stayed here many times and I thought the price at $90 is high. I love the peacefulness of the location. However, the price was high given the quality of the room that I was placed in and as a returning customer. Otherwise, the staff and stay were very good.
The building itself has its own charm; & definitely the green surrounding adds a picturesce old style feeling to its ambient. It was very quiet; even tough it was literally in the city center. Liked this part especially as the city can be buzzing & loud!
For me personally it was the taste of the food; but this one is my personal opinion; even tough other people enjoyed it (including my family members); for me it was missing something; but as said only my opinion
I had watched it being advertised on TV and I can tell you what they show you on the TV is just a snippet of this amazing place. I enjoyed my stay there and it was very very comfortable. The rooms are very spacious and large and incredibly hot showers.
The rooms are big and the staff really tries to keep them cleanNice gardenHot water in the shower, although the water smelled and lacked pressure
Food in the restaurant takes around 1-2h and it pretty mediocreSwimming pool was not maintained & completely green and dirtyOur room was pretty cold without heating, but the bathroom was very cold and funghused
Breakfast & location
No muslim shower in washroom, which would have been really convenient.
Very close to nature, responsive and friendly staff.
They dont have an elevator, but the staffs are always ready to help.
