- "The beach villa that we booked was nothing short of amazing. Attention to detail and cleanliness was impeccable. The location of this resort was literally a stones throw away from the beach. Staff are friendly and most importantly our hosts George, Bee and Liverpool were always there to see that our needs and comfort were always met. While there my wife fell ill. Bee took such good care of her thank you. This stay was a real treat as I was surpring my wife for our anniversary. Can't wait to return to this beautiful place again someday."

Beautiful villas exceptional staff who catered to all our needs and extra requests.. suchs as cake for Birthday's and engagements and helped us arrange activities... and catered for my celiac wife.

On one hand I hope this hotel gets the recognition it deserves but on the other I don't so I can keep it to myself.. It's a slice of heaven and we will treasure our stay for a lifetime...

And we should not forget mentionning Nancy, she is a great manager who will make sure your stay is perfect. The food at the Laguna restaurant (Baitong) is really amazing and very well dressed with changing menu and original creation. Also the bread is home made by Nancy and it is very good.

Restaurant had good choices, mostly vegetarian but with other options so you weren't restricted." - "The staff was extremely warm and welcoming. They helped with every request to make our stay pleasant. F.e. Arranging the trip from/to the airport. Recommendations about attractions in the area. Scooter rental. The rooms/domes are spacious, amazingly close to the jungle with birds, butterflies and the sounds of it. Balconies for star gazing. And it is worth to mention the lovely cats."
