I had a lovely stay at this resort, surrounded by nature with stunning views of the lake. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although the mattresses were a bit hard for my taste. Dining options were enjoyable, featuring a range of Asian and Western dishes, but I found the breakfast selection could use more variety. Overall, the experience was delightful, especially with the array of activities available, making it great value for a peaceful getaway.

The resort is beautifully nestled in the heart of the rainforest, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. While the nature experience is amazing, I found the room noise from the nearby road somewhat disruptive. The dining options were quite good, though service could definitely use some improvement. Overall, it was a unique stay with highlights in nature and delightful food, but the location's remoteness poses a challenge for transport and noise insulation.

The resort is beautifully situated by a lake and surrounded by lush jungle, making for some stunning views. Although the rooms are spacious and have nice wooden furniture, we did experience some problems with unpleasant smells in the bathroom. The dining options were decent but, overall, left us wanting more. The service at times felt inattentive, and there were issues that important activities got postponed due to lack of organization.
