My stay at the resort was quite an adventure! The location is absolutely stunning with its own trails and beautiful waterfalls. The rooms were comfortable but could use a bit of updating. The service was friendly, but at times it felt a bit unorganized. Dining was a bit of a mixed bag, as the breakfast options were limited. Overall, it's a unique experience but there are some areas that need attention.

I had a lovely stay at this resort spa, where the tranquil surroundings were complemented by beautiful self-guided trails and stunning waterfalls nearby. The rooms were spacious and modern, offering a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. On the downside, while the staff was friendly, there were some organizational hiccups, and the dining experience fell short of expectations. Overall, it remains a good value for money but has room for improvements in service and dining.
