"Rejuvenating, relaxing, nourishing, spectacular views"

10.0

I love the rainforest, the massage therapist did an incredible massage, love the sauna, the staff were super helpful and accommodating when I arrived exhausted from an overnight flight at 7am. I felt very taken care of and being in a particularly tough life season right now that meant more to me than I realised it would. The food was great. Oh and the chocolate tart was amazing too!

The smell from the fireplace smells a bit weird near the lounge area and reception. Better TV options as I couldn’t log in to my streaming services outside of Australia

"A massive thank you to Jibin for going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, hi outstanding"

7.0

What I really enjoyed about our stay was the food, the beautiful interior of the resort, and the room itself. However, the highlight of our experience was the exceptional service from the manager, Jibin. Jibin went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. When we experienced issues with the TV in our room, he did everything he could to resolve the problem and even arranged for us to move to another room to ensure we were looked after. His professionalism, care, and willingness to help made a huge difference to our overall experience.

The only downside during our stay was the issue with the TV not working properly. Aside from that, we had a wonderful experience and greatly appreciated the effort Jibin made to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of.
