The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Relaxing Spa Experience

During my stay, I indulged in a body massage that was truly professional and efficient—definitely one of the best places to get a massage at a great value. I was pleasantly surprised, even though the website mentioned the spa might not be functional. The experience was relaxing, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for some rejuvenation.

This hotel is a beautiful oasis with stunning views of Little Adam's Peak and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are well-equipped and offer a comfortable stay, although there were minor issues with the shower setup. The service provided was exceptional, making us feel truly valued as guests. However, the dining experience could use some enhancement as the buffet options felt a bit limited during our stay, despite being reasonably priced.

I had a lovely stay at the resort, surrounded by breathtaking views of lush green hills and the sounds of nature. The rooms were spacious with a great balcony, but I felt they were a bit tired and could use some refreshing. The staff were fantastic and always had a smile, making me feel welcomed. While breakfast was a highlight, lunch had a few hiccups, like finding mould on the cheese. Overall, it was a memorable experience, but the noise from the nearby bar could be a downside for some.

The hotel is beautifully designed, offering stunning views from the room, and the staff went out of their way to ensure we felt special during our honeymoon.
