- "Nice location, beautiful surroundings, good atmosphere." - "staff was awesome. they asked how come we made such a quick/impulse booking and when they found out about previous negative experience we were treated extra well. big kudos to them!!! breakfast was awesome, a bit crowded but super nice view from the restaurant. lounge area was great too with bonfire, board games, table tennis, pool etc. we even got 2 free drinks tickets since we were asked to wait for a couple of minutes. overall, great value for the money! we found free parking spots, although it was quiet crowded. we did not have time or interest in trying out other facilities such as pools etc. but at least could see there were plenty to choose from."

- "Fantastic location, great food and nice breakfast. Very nice spa area. Nice and friendly staff." - "It's a super old structure that has been modified and reconstructed as the years passed by which feels special. The lounge area next to the restaurant is so nice to chill and unwind. Khai Khitzer (if I pronounced her name correctly) from the restaurant was quite helpful and her frank approach is interesting. Very knowledgeable also. Monet is super sweet! The ladies in the restaurant during breakfast are also nice and very hospitable. We didn't go to the other restaurant for dinner (where breakfast is served) which has some four course menu. Found it a bit on the expensive side that was expected but the menu didn't contain stuff that we were interested in, or might have given it a shot. Anyways, the ambience was quite tempting so I presume overall it should be a good experience. Coming back to the restaurant next to the lounge area where the bar located is where we dined for both nights. The items they have on menu are commendable. The fish (forgot it's name) is what we went for both nights as it was soo good. We tried other starters as well as cocktails that were also impressive. We upgraded to the room within the main building which is a mini suite and that was spacious as well as cozy. The terrace that we had in the other room originally booked was the only thing we missed. There is s shopping mall nearby as well as laundry, other stores, etc. that's required in a neighborhood (not what we expected since we checked in later in the evening when it got dark). The property also has a forest area within which leads to the beach outside and just need to cross the road. The golf course as well as the horse stables and the endless greenery around which is within the property is very soothing."
