Room was clean and loved all the servers but the policy of the property doesn’t really make any sense. They don’t allow you to bring in towel to the water park but they don’t also provide you with one. They make you pay extra for the seating area as well. The spa front desk was rude.

They need to improve the food quality. Especially for international travelers. The focus was for daily local visitors and not extensive for overnight customers. Breakfast was poor, lunch was poor and same for dinner. The staff were amazing and very helpful and attentive. The property is very tranquil and beautiful. The food is the only bad experience.

Even though we stayed for 3 days & 2 nights we were told by the check-in staff we can only use the water park for only one day & breakfast was included for just the 2nd day of our stay, so strange! The lock on the door was really bad & the room did nit have any night lamp! Bathroom had some type of smell even though it was clean. The spa shower had a terrible smell. Kuriftu report can do better, it used to be a good spot but now it’s just a sad place looking for some love & care.

We are not happy with the service! The first day they change our room, they give us a different room, and the second day they provide us with our room. The room is dirty, the wall is dirty, there is no hot shower or room service, and reception does not answer the phone. I think they are focusing on the money, not the service. I had a bad experience. @kuriftu

I booked two family rooms for our stay, but the overall experience did not match the price. One of our rooms did not have a phone to order room service, and we were provided with insufficient towels and no face towels. Having visited several other countries, I have received much better service and amenities for this exact same price point. The cost simply does not match the level of room amenities provided. On a positive note, we really enjoyed the breakfast, which included a great selection of local foods. Overall, the stay was just okay, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.
