"The retreat offers an extensive range of activities plus dining options and as such is very popular with families."
"Villa was spacious and had a large spa bath outside."

The hotel has a stunning location with breathtaking views and offers a truly unique retreat experience, especially for nature lovers. The villas I stayed in were clean and spacious, making for a comfortable stay. However, I was disappointed with the dining options; the quality didn't match the prices. The lack of reliable Wi-Fi in the rooms was also a setback, making it tough for anyone who needs to stay connected during their visit.

Unfortunately, the dining experience was disappointing; the quality of food was poor, and the limited selection felt more like a school camp lunch rather than what you would expect at a resort.

My stay was a mixed experience. The hotel is set in a beautiful natural setting, surrounded by lush rainforest and vibrant wildlife. The room I stayed in offered stunning views and was clean and comfortable, but I faced significant issues with the service that left me feeling undervalued as a guest. While the dining options had their highs, such as great meals prepared by talented staff, some aspects fell short of expectations, particularly regarding pre-arranged services and amenities.

I had an enjoyable stay in a beautiful location surrounded by rainforest, which offered stunning views and access to numerous walking trails. The rooms were comfortable but showed signs of wear, and while the staff was helpful, the service could have used a bit more warmth. I particularly appreciated the excellent dining options, although they were a bit pricey. Overall, a great place for nature lovers but could use some improvements.

My stay at the hotel was filled with mixed feelings. While the location was breathtaking and the activities offered were fantastic, I was disappointed with the condition of the accommodations and the dining experience. The service was commendable, but overall, I felt that the value for what I paid was lacking.

The mountain villa we stayed in was quite run down and had an uncomfortable vibe. It smelled of wood and the furnishings, especially the pillows, left much to be desired. Honestly, for the price, I expected better upkeep.

My stay at the hotel had some ups and downs. The location is stunning, nestled within the national park with beautiful walking trails right at the doorstep. However, the service was inconsistent, and the attention to detail in cleanliness could use improvement. Dining was enjoyable but overpriced. While the facilities offered a good range of activities, they fell short on some basic expectations.
Rooms

The villa we stayed in was nicely set up but cleanliness was lacking, with mold in the bathroom and an unpleasant odor that subsided after airing out. There was no television or fireplace, and it did get quite cold at times.

Service varied widely during our stay. Check-in was confusing due to a breakfast miscommunication, and we faced delays with unresponsive staff when we needed assistance. It felt like they were just going through the motions.

The hotel is beautifully located within the national park, surrounded by nature and ample walking trails, although the drive to get there is quite tricky and requires a lot of focus.

Dining was a mixed bag; we enjoyed a lovely first night dinner, but the second night was disappointing compared to the first. Prices were excessive, especially for breakfast, yet the overall flavor was hit or miss.

While the infinity pool looked inviting, it was a bit too cool for the time of year. The spa services were excellent and a highlight of our stay.
