Good Petting Zoo

“As an animal lover, I thoroughly enjoyed the petting zoo! The friendly and playful dogs, along with the gentle rabbits, were a highlight. My kids were ecstatic feeding the birds and engaging with them. It's a fantastic experience for children, who can interact closely with the animals in a safe environment. The unique experience of having birds sit on our shoulders while we fed them was lovely.” view full review

Tasty Buffet Options

“The food at the resort was quite satisfying! I was pleasantly surprised by the variety available during meal times, especially during one of the buffets where they served black pomfret-a rare find. Even though we arrived late for lunch, they were accommodating and provided us with additional food. The quality and taste of the meals greatly exceeded my expectations.” view full review

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

“I stayed in a valley-facing villa which was ideal for my family. The rooms were spacious, comfortably accommodating four people with a good-sized common area for everyone to relax. The cleanliness was commendable, and the amenities provided like the LCD TV and AC made our stay quite enjoyable. It's a relief to find such well-maintained rooms during our trip.” view full review

Relaxing Swimming Pool

“The resort features a relaxing swimming pool that is perfect for unwinding after a day of activities. While there were no slides or elaborate features for kids, the setting was serene, allowing us to enjoy some quality time just lounging by the poolside. It was the ideal spot to chill out and take in the beautiful surroundings.” view full review

I had a pleasant experience at this resort. The property is clean and well-maintained, with a variety of natural surroundings that add to its charm. Families with kids will definitely enjoy the petting zoo, but be aware that there aren't many entertainment options. Additionally, the dining prices can be on the higher side, but the food quality is decent. The room service is convenient, though a bit steep for snacks.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was described as a villa but was actually just one room, which was a bit misleading. It was clean and tidy but not as spacious as I expected. Rating: 7/10

Service

The staff was courteous and well-groomed, which added to the overall experience. However, the service could be a bit slow at times, especially in the dining area. Rating: 7/10

Facilities

The facilities offered were nice, especially the petting zoo and swimming pools, although the latter were relatively small. The housekeeping service is not automatically daily, so keep in mind that you may need to request it. Rating: 7/10
