They need to improve the food quality. Especially for international travelers. The focus was for daily local visitors and not extensive for overnight customers. Breakfast was poor, lunch was poor and same for dinner. The staff were amazing and very helpful and attentive. The property is very tranquil and beautiful. The food is the only bad experience.

Even though we stayed for 3 days & 2 nights we were told by the check-in staff we can only use the water park for only one day & breakfast was included for just the 2nd day of our stay, so strange! The lock on the door was really bad & the room did nit have any night lamp! Bathroom had some type of smell even though it was clean. The spa shower had a terrible smell. Kuriftu report can do better, it used to be a good spot but now it’s just a sad place looking for some love & care.

We are not happy with the service! The first day they change our room, they give us a different room, and the second day they provide us with our room. The room is dirty, the wall is dirty, there is no hot shower or room service, and reception does not answer the phone. I think they are focusing on the money, not the service. I had a bad experience. @kuriftu

The rooms are like cabins with stone walls and cone shaped thatched roofs. Really nice, etnic style interior decor. The staff are really accommodating and professional. The food in the restaurant is delicious and overlooking the stunning looking lake where you can do kayaking for free. We got an out of this world massage in the spa, highly recommended. But it can be noisy at night, bring earplugs! The pool was empty, which was disappointing. And the waterpark beside the hotel was a letdown for my child. I'd go back to the hotel, though, and I'd recommend it but not as a base to go to the waterpark as this was not the best.

The tv doesn’t work and we ask them to fix it multiple time but they just don’t want to do it. The WiFi is average, there’s noise which makes it hard to sleep. The staff needs to be responsive. But other than these little things it’s a place that people should go and check it out!
