    Très bien, mais...

    Très bon séjour dans cet hôtel situé dans un magnifique environnement isolé,, en bord de mer et dans la jungle. Parfait pour la relaxation ! Logement très confortable. Personnel parfait, discret et attentionné. Petit déjeuner de qualité et varié. Très bonne expérience au Spa.

    1/Les draps étaient tachés (bien que tâches propres) ; 2/Le restaurant n'est franchement pas à la hauteur de l'établissement (dommage car seul restaurant de l'établissement). le restaurant a un très mauvais rapport qualité -prix : très cher et très simple au regard du prix de la nuitée. 3/ nous déplorons un manque de clarté sur plusieurs points : des taxes apparaissent sur la note finale et ne sont pas annoncées sur l'offre de l'hôtel (menu du restaurant et carte du spa). De plus, le trajet du transfert de l'hôtel au port de Genting (soit l'embarcadère voisine) pour reprendre le ferry jour du départ a été facturé sans que nous ayons été prévenus, avec un coût exagéré (65rm) pour 5mn de bateau. c'est dommage car cela vient ternir notre expérience dans ce beau lieu.

    Beautiful remote resort in the mountains with private beach access.

    Very good remote resort and beautiful setting. The staff (Saw, Mike and Shishir) were incredible and made the whole experience wonderful. Overall a good experience if you want to take a break away from the city.

    Check which rooms you book. Rooms 1,2 and 3 are not very private and are visible from the common areas. This can be fixed by the hotel quite easily with curtains and fencing etc. No wellness activity for what is actually a wellness hotel - yoga classes or group hikes would be good addition. They have spa massage which was average. Restaurants need to have more variety - we stayed for a whole week there so by the end of the week we had eaten everything on the menu.

    It is my Shangri-la. Very beautiful scenery: jungle, Sea, beach...

    Food needs to be improved, especially lunch and dinner.

    Service was impeccable. Staff was super attentive to our needs, generous, polite, friendly. Food was equally excellent - something that surprised me because hotel food arent usually as good as this. Kudos to the chefs and F&B team. The environment was so peaceful & tranquil. Beautiful sandy beach. Rooms are large and spacious, full of character. Housekeeping team did a wonderful job of cleaning the rooms so very often and making sure they were always sparkling clean.

    Room lighting quite dim. The resort also switches all lights after 10pm. This can be problematic when walking back to our rooms located high up the hills. We had to walk up the many wooden steps in the dark before reaching rooms. The resort had only 1 kayak for 1 person

    Não volto e não recomendo

    O local com praia, montanha e natureza

    Estrutura muito mal cuidada de madeira e praia suja e falta do que fazer com crianças
