I was really hoping for a great experience at this resort spa, but it fell short in a few areas. While the natural beauty surrounding the resort is stunning, there were definitely some drawbacks with the room's amenities and service. I found the staff to be very helpful, which I appreciated, but the lack of essentials really impacted the overall experience. If they improve on a few things, it could be an awesome place to stay.

My stay at this resort spa had its ups and downs. The intriguing traditional wooden architecture gave a unique charm, but there were definitely some drawbacks. The room was starkly lacking basic amenities like a refrigerator and hot water, which was disappointing. The location was peaceful with lots of greenery, though it was a bit out of town. On the plus side, the service was polite and responsive, which helped balance things out.

My stay at the resort was quite a mixed bag. The rooms left a lot to be desired, particularly with the small window and lack of basic amenities like a refrigerator and reliable hot water. On the brighter side, the staff was genuinely helpful and accommodating, making my experience more enjoyable. The surroundings were peaceful and green, perfect for relaxation. However, the dining options need improvement, as there were hardly any choices. Overall, I had a comfortable experience but felt it could've been better for the price I paid.

The resort is situated in a pleasant location surrounded by greenery and fresh air, which I truly enjoyed. However, my experience with the rooms was less than ideal due to several issues like a lack of a refrigerator and inadequate hot water. While the staff was mostly responsive and polite, I couldn't overlook the discomfort of the bed and the absence of basic amenities. Overall, it could be better given the rate charged.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While the natural beauty surrounding the resort was breathtaking, the room experience left much to be desired, especially with issues like no hot water and a bed that was far from king size. The amenities were lacking as well, which made it hard to overlook the overall price I paid. The staff did try to help, but there were moments of miscommunication due to language barriers. In short, I appreciated the serene environment, but the room issues were significant.
