Delicious Local Cuisine

The in-house restaurant served amazing Asam laksa and other local delicacies that truly delighted my taste buds. Additionally, the complimentary grapes from the resort’s farm were a fantastic touch that enhanced the dining experience.

Fun for Kids

The kids' club was a big hit with my family! Even though it was a bit quiet, my kids enjoyed the playhouse and the activities available. It’s a nice addition to the resort for families traveling with children.

The hotel is set in a stunning environment, surrounded by nature, which really adds to the overall experience. The rooms are beautifully decorated and clean, and I particularly enjoyed the soothing sounds from the waterfall nearby. However, my stay was marred by poor service at times, and there were significant cleanliness issues when I first arrived. Overall, it offers a serene escape, but it could certainly use some improvements.

The resort has a lovely ambiance set in nature, with clean log cabins and comfortable beds. However, the service was lacking, particularly during the dining experience where staff seemed inattentive, and the food quality didn't match the expectations of a five-star resort. The location offers a peaceful retreat but is quite distant from downtown attractions, which might be inconvenient for those without a car.
