“The monkeys in the hotel are such a great sight and on the contrary to what other people may say they really are harmless unless provoked or refused food (don't walk around with food in your hands).”

exotic nature escape

landscaped grounds exotic plants unique location great food

the individual pavilions are amidst beautifully landscaped grounds with exotic plants. monkeys and monitor lizards are occasionally visible. i walked from my pavilion to the beach it was relaxing. the grotto restaurant offered a special experience because of its unique location and the great food.

the minibar check happened 45 minutes before my agreed checkout. a staff member inspected the entire room while i was still there. this felt intrusive, i didn't enjoy that.

spacious villa dining experience

My stay included a spacious villa. This villa offered privacy with two floors. Dining at the Thai restaurant was a highlight thanks to the executive chef. His efforts enhanced our experience.

The decor in the villa could use some updating.

The living accommodation was gorgeous. I saw a spacious bedroom had a large bed, a lounge area, a bathroom, and a cloakroom. The fridge, coffee, and tea options were well-equipped. The grounds are fine. It is a calm and serene oasis with a huge and fine pool.

Private events used hotel amenities. That was not appropriate.
