    Everything was perfect! The property was beautifully maintained, clean, and exceeded my expectations. The location was convenient, and the amenities were fantastic. I particularly loved the view.The overall experience was wonderful, and I'd definitely recommend it to others.

    The only issue i had was the geyser was not on in the evening. I had a cold shower on Saturday night. I tried calling the front desk no response. That is the only bad experience i had.

    The breakfast choices were great and the staff at the restaurant were very friendly. The room was spacious and clean. The bar downstairs was great and warm.

    I wish there can have separate pool for guest with the daily guest who comes to the pool restaurant because now we can’t bring our own drinks to the pool and it’s always overcrowded with daily guests

    No staff at reception on arrival. We booked a sea view room only to be told by the staff that Booking.coms information on the room we booked is inaccurate We paid for a sea view room and we're given a garden view room After refusing to accept the room allocated, and refusing to pay more, we were given a sea view room I don't have a problem paying more for a sea view room if that's what I get,. The coffee station in the room is pathetic There was not enough coffee milk or sugar for more than 2 small cups. This dated coffee sachet offering needs to be replaced There was no bottled water in the fridge

    Very Modern clean spacious rooms Beautiful setting and views. Very comfortable bed

    The wifi for internet connectivity on the TV was very poor. We could not access the sources as expected in the TV.

    Thank you for the vegetarian/vegan breakfast catered for. However, it was bland and lacked variety. The service was poor as staff seemed uninterested and tired. The staff were not friendly as expected for a resort during the festive period. Perhaps rotate staff so they are well rested and happier to work during busy holiday period.

    Breakfast doesn’t offer enough variety. Staffs are generally good except for one or two minor issues which are not worth mentioning.

    Spacious rooms, clean toilets and bedding., quiet and peaceful. Beautiful garden. King size breakfast.

    Breakfast was very poor. Very limited buffet options. Staff was not friendly. They only offer 1 drink for the buffet and the you have to pay for any further drinks. Disappointed that there were no doughnuts, muffins, croissants, pan cakes which is normal at other places. There is no service to help with the luggage.

    The view from the restaurant was nice.
