We loved staying at this hotel and found the setting and scenery very beautiful. the hotel consists of little bungalows inside the forest, right next to the lake. I would like to see more information about the hotel services to be more readily available in the rooms and public areas (ie spa & other facilities). the pool should be renovated and enlarged. Also the hotel should provide some paddle boats and kayaks for rent so that people can enjoy the beautiful lake.

A very average stay. I’m not sure I would recommend this. The staff are lovely but the rooms are very dated. I don’t think it’s worth the price when there’s many other amazing properties in the area.

Property needs better upkeeping. Stayed here after a few years and noticed it has gone down in quality. Pest control wasn’t done, rooms were not very clean, the toilet water kept on running unless you try to flush several times till it stops, tv remote wasn’t working. Staff was helpful but felt they were limited by the resources. Management has to do a better job!

Amazing Hotel

The hotel is really amazing. Perfect place for the family stay. Huge beds, calm area, tree house, swings, and much much more what people with kids will enjoy. When buffet breakfast or dinner offered, it has a big variety of different cousin - European, SriLankan, Indian, etc. Staff was amazing, polite and friendly. Starting from cleaners, and ending with receptionist. Special thanks to staff who served breakfast and dinner. They are amazing. Three nights in this hotel wasn't enough for us. Definitely will return and stay in this hotel again.

Great but remote

Hotel was lovely and the staff were very friendly and attentive. But, the hotel really feels like it's in the middle of nowhere. You can't easily get into town. If you want a get away from it all time then I would happily recommend. Otherwise, be aware that you are limited to the resort itself.
