My stay at the resort was quite a mix. The charm of the traditional wooden structures was appealing, but the rooms fell short in comfort and amenities. While the location offered some beautiful greenery, the dining could definitely use more variety. I found the service attentive, but the overall experience didn't quite match the price point we paid.

The rooms had an old-world charm with wooden walls, but the lack of basic amenities like a refrigerator and hot water was disappointing. The bed was more like a miniature size than the king I expected.

I recently stayed at this resort, and while there were a few highlights, I was left feeling a bit disappointed overall. The property is certainly beautiful and surrounded by lush greenery, which made for a lovely atmosphere. However, the rooms had a few issues, and the service wasn't always up to par. The dining experience was also lacking in variety. Overall, it's got potential, but there's definitely room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The rooms were clean but a bit on the small side, and while some of the staff were friendly, others could have been more helpful. The tranquil location was a definite highlight, but the dining options left something to be desired. Overall, it offers decent value for money, but I think there's room for improvement in certain areas.
