My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The view from the room was absolutely stunning, leaving me in awe every time I looked out. The service had its highs and lows, with some staff being helpful while other interactions weren't as satisfying. While I enjoyed the private pool and the overall ambiance, I faced issues with unexpected charges and maintenance that could have definitely been better addressed. Overall, it was a beautiful but frustrating experience that I feel needs improvement for better value for money.

The staff, especially Bikash and Rose, really made our experience memorable with their attentiveness and positivity.

I have mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. While the wooden architecture and room are stunning, and the views from the breakfast restaurant are impressive, there were several disappointments. The service was lacking, especially regarding room allocation, and I found the noise levels in the accommodations quite disruptive. Overall, it's a beautiful place, but I wouldn't say it's worth the steep price for a luxury experience.
