This resort was absolute breathtaking and peaceful. This was our first stay (wife and I) and it was very relaxing. The resort offers a variety of nature experiences but we spent time admiring the beautiful scenery, pool and jacuzzi around the resort. Our room was a king with a river view. Great A/C and Our clean room and bathroom was spacious with an outside bathtub and shower. Also we spent time on our a spacious balcony. We enjoyed our dining experience; as well as the room service for our delicious meals. There was no television because it’s about getting back to nature which was much needed. All the staff we encountered were professional and kind; eager to assist you. Definitely will visit again! Thank you!!!!

The accomodation was perfectly taken care of; surroundings at the hotel as well. The pool was nice, but is in the afternoon in the shadow, and has too little sunbeds to provide a bed for all hotel guests. The restaurant was good.
