Beautiful remote resort in the mountains with private beach access.

8.0

Very good remote resort and beautiful setting. The staff (Saw, Mike and Shishir) were incredible and made the whole experience wonderful. Overall a good experience if you want to take a break away from the city.

Check which rooms you book. Rooms 1,2 and 3 are not very private and are visible from the common areas. This can be fixed by the hotel quite easily with curtains and fencing etc. No wellness activity for what is actually a wellness hotel - yoga classes or group hikes would be good addition. They have spa massage which was average. Restaurants need to have more variety - we stayed for a whole week there so by the end of the week we had eaten everything on the menu.

It is my Shangri-la. Very beautiful scenery: jungle, Sea, beach...

Food needs to be improved, especially lunch and dinner.

Service was impeccable. Staff was super attentive to our needs, generous, polite, friendly. Food was equally excellent - something that surprised me because hotel food arent usually as good as this. Kudos to the chefs and F&B team. The environment was so peaceful & tranquil. Beautiful sandy beach. Rooms are large and spacious, full of character. Housekeeping team did a wonderful job of cleaning the rooms so very often and making sure they were always sparkling clean.

Room lighting quite dim. The resort also switches all lights after 10pm. This can be problematic when walking back to our rooms located high up the hills. We had to walk up the many wooden steps in the dark before reaching rooms. The resort had only 1 kayak for 1 person

O local com praia, montanha e natureza

Estrutura muito mal cuidada de madeira e praia suja e falta do que fazer com crianças

L'emplacement qui ne dépend pas de l'hôtel.

L'hôtel a été racheté, des travaux partout, toute la journée, un tiers de l'hôtel inaccessible du fait des travaux. Aucune remise en question de la part du staff, entre 400€ et 500€, une honte.
