Staying at this resort was truly a unique experience, with incredible views that made me feel like I was in the heart of a rainforest while enjoying all the comforts of a 5-star accommodation. The ambiance was serene and beautiful, but the location was a bit misleading since it's actually 1 km down a one-lane road. The service was heartfelt and truly made me feel at home. However, the dining options left something to be desired, especially due to the limited breakfast selection.

This resort spa is truly a gem nestled in a serene jungle setting. The private bungalows are stunning, offering breathtaking views of the mountains and rainforest, making for a perfect relaxing getaway. While the dining experience had some inconsistencies, with items not always matching what was ordered, the overall value for a tranquil stay is strong.

My stay at the resort spa was amazing overall, with a beautiful room that felt like a luxurious retreat. The dining experience was a highlight with some of the best food I've had, although there were minor issues with order accuracy. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, and the pool area was fantastic for relaxation. However, the location was a bit misleading as it was further from main attractions than initially described.
