What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Luxurious Villa Experience

I was completely taken aback by the size of the room, which was enormous. The bed was crafted from two super king-sized beds put end to end, and the bathroom featured twin rainfall showers along with both indoor and outdoor soaking tubs. It truly felt like a private oasis in paradise.

Really good Culinary Delights

I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast selection, which was well curated and featured an array of delicious options, including sirloin and homemade jams. At the Thai fusion restaurant, I was particularly enchanted by the local signature dish. The artistry of the plates added a special touch to the already fantastic taste.

Relaxing Spa Retreat

The spa was an really good experience, with a serene atmosphere and skilled therapists. I booked a 90-minute treatment that was one of the best massages I've ever had. The facilities were stunning, encouraging me to arrive an hour early to enjoy them beforehand. It truly rejuvenated my spirit.
