Beautiful villa in a quiet location. Breathtaking grounds and pool. Excellent service. Comfortable room.
The hotel closes up shop around 9pm, leaving little to do in the evening.

You feel like you are in the middle of the jungle. Bird sounds fill the air from dawn to dusk. The property and rooms are unique - best to take the rooms that are in the main house - there are only 4 of them so it’s very exclusive. The relaxing areas are decorated and furnished to perfection. The views from the terrace, where you eat, out over the grounds are unforgettable. The beds are extremely comfortable. The food is above average in quality and not ridiculously priced. It’s not easy to go out so very pleased they are not taking advantage. The lemongrass and ginger soup is an absolute knockout. The staff are very attentive and friendly. It was the last 3 days of an 18 day tour and the perfect place to wind down, chill out and try and prepare for return the UK.
Swimming pool floor and edge surfaces a little grimy. It is a beautiful pool in an lovely setting so this is a minor criticism but it does need attention. Our bathroom in the Lotus Suite was a little “tired”; the tiles in particular past their best.

-We loved the surrounding jungle and gardens. -The staff were amazing and attentive, they made sure our honeymoon stay was special. -The food was delicious -great facilities. We loved the pool and the ability to rent bikes/scooters is a lifesaver
The only issue is that it's far from the beaches. But you can rent e-bikes or scooters... The latter will get you to the beach in about 15 mins. Also, the wildlife might jump on your roof and wake you up at night... But that's part of the charm.
