I had a lovely stay at this spa hotel, where everything was clean and the atmosphere was perfect for relaxation. The spacious rooms were beautifully decorated and so comfortable to unwind in. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. While the dining was quite good, I did find it a bit lacking in variety. Overall, it was a great experience with good value for money.

My stay at the spa hotel was a mixed bag. The views from the rooms are absolutely stunning, overlooking trees and mountains. However, while the service was friendly and helpful, the rooms themselves left a bit to be desired in terms of comfort. The dining experience was varied with some standout dishes but also occasional misses. Overall, it's a good value for the beautiful scenery, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, especially in one of the bungalows with a private pool, which had breathtaking views of the mountaintop and rainforest. The rooms were beautifully decorated and incredibly spacious, providing a luxurious experience. However, I did have an unpleasant encounter with a few insects inside the room and an issue with the service that left a bit to be desired. Overall, it was a delight but not without its quirks.

The bungalow I stayed in was spacious, wonderfully decorated, and offered an incredible view, which made my experience truly special. Unfortunately, there were a few bugs inside that detracted from the overall comfort.

While I appreciated the friendly atmosphere among the staff, my experience was marred when they seemed to deflect responsibility regarding some incorrect information. This made me feel less valued as a guest.

The location is stunning, nestled in the mountain jungle, but it's important to note it's about 1 km down a narrow road from what was listed. It has a remote charm, surrounded by lush greenery.

The dining experience was not consistent; often, I received dishes that didn't match my order and frustrations with the daily menu changes made it a bit stressful, even though the fresh fish was delightful.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel nestled in the jungle, surrounded by breathtaking views. The rooms were nice, albeit not as stunning as the pictures suggested, and the service was exceptionally attentive. However, the dining options were somewhat inconsistent, which was a letdown. Overall, it offers great value for a peaceful getaway, but the dining experience could use some improvement.
