My stay at the resort was quite an experience. The surroundings were beautifully integrated with nature, providing a peaceful atmosphere. However, I was disappointed by the lack of air conditioning in the rooms, which made it somewhat uncomfortable at night. The dining options were quite good and generous, but the service felt a bit untrained and not very accommodating. Overall, while there were some drawbacks, the natural setting and dining made up for it.

I recently stayed at this resort and found it nestled in beautiful forest-like surroundings, which was a delightful escape. The rooms, however, left much to be desired as they lacked even basic ventilation like fans. While the staff was super nice and tried to be helpful, it was clear they needed more training to provide better service. The dining was pleasantly generous, which was a highlight, but overall, the experience felt average for the price I paid.

I had a unique experience at this resort, nestled within a forest-like environment that made it feel tranquil, but unfortunately, the rooms lacked essential amenities like air conditioning or even a fan, which made them less comfortable. The staff were a mix of welcoming and a bit untrained, which affected the quality of service. Overall, while the setting was appealing, I felt that the hotel could improve in several areas to enhance guest comfort.

The hotel is nestled in a peaceful, forest-like setting, which is perfect for relaxation. While the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the lack of fans made the stay a bit uncomfortable on warm days. The service was helpful, but there were moments where it felt untrained. Overall, it offers a unique escape, albeit with some areas needing improvement.

I recently stayed at this resort spa and it was an interesting experience. The location by the lakeside is stunning, which really adds to the ambiance. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms were quite good. However, I faced some issues with the service, which felt a bit untrained at times. The dining was decent, especially the hot dishes, but there is definitely room for improvement. Overall, it offers great views and a fair value for money, yet some areas need attention.
