Last time we stayed at Spicers Tamarind back in June 2025, we rated it a 5. However after staying this time we feel like things have changed. We like to stay here because it has it all, private and peaceful accommodation, great parking plus an onsite restaurant. However general maintenance appears lacking this time with visible cobwebs etc. Our room had 3 spiders inside and a couple of tiles cracked in the bathroom. Whilst the villas are in the bush and it maybe expected, pest control needs to be top of mind. Breakfast was ok but was missing the little extras. Previously we were served fresh yoghurt and berries with homemade banana bread. This time it was a couple of sad pieces of melon with watermelon juice which was quite a strange taste, presume extra sugar added. The area designated for breakfast used to be the front dining area which has a veranda overlooking the property however it appears this is not an option now. The food quality in the restaurant for dinner was also not good. If the restaurant is not maintained to a high standard then the overnight experience no longer remains a preferred getaway, especially for the 5 star price charged
