the staff was amazing. they were very cute, always smiling, and attentive. the service. i also used the pool area each day it overlooks the beach.
our beautiful villa felt far removed from everything. it was up two hills and two sets of stairs, the rock and wooden stairs were slippery. we needed a golf cart every time we wanted to go somewhere on the premises.

Idyllic Beach and Rainforest Retreat
attentive staffgreat food
The resort location features a beautiful beach next to the rainforest. I found the staff cute, always smiling, and attentive. I particularly enjoyed the pool area overlooking the beach and also the spa, nestled among the trees. The food was great (especially the Shanghai pancake at the Longhouse restaurant!).
