the royal beautiful cabana was very comfortable. it featured eco-friendly designs with thatched roofs and furniture. i enjoyed the panoramic views of tea plantations from the balcony.
The main balcony blinds were thin and cheap. they did not block sunlight and there were no curtains at all! the window next to the door had visible gaps. It felt unsafe.

The room was clean, and i found the tea-themed backdrop quite nice. contacting reception via whatsapp proved very useful. They responded promptly.
The hard-sell approach upon check-in was annoying. i also encountered a missing hand towel issue at checkout.
