I had a memorable stay at this resort, surrounded by beautiful hot springs and lush rainforest. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, providing a wonderful retreat. However, I found the dining options somewhat limited and would have loved to see more local selections. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, especially enjoying the spa and unique features like Shangri-La Gardens.

Staying at this resort was a wonderful experience! The hot springs are truly unique and the atmosphere is serene, making it a perfect escape. The rooms are incredibly comfortable and well-equipped, but the dining experience could use some improvements. I appreciated the lush gardens around the property which add to the beautiful scenery. Be prepared for busy weekends as it can get crowded, especially in the dining areas and hot springs.

My stay at this hotel was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to the incredibly welcoming staff and beautiful surroundings. The hot springs were a highlight, providing a tranquil retreat. However, the rooms did show some signs of age and the water pressure in the showers could be improved. Overall, I felt the experience was a fantastic value for the price I paid.
