Our stay at the resort was wonderful overall, with friendly staff and a fantastic massage experience. The location provided a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after our adventures, but I felt the breakfast could use a bit more variety.

This resort is truly a hidden gem, providing an oasis of tranquility nestled amidst lush greenery. The charm of this place lies in its stunning natural surroundings and excellent Ayurvedic Spa services. While the cabins are delightful and bring you closer to the beauty of nature, the dampness of the bedding was a minor inconvenience. Overall, it's a magnificent retreat worth returning to.
