8.8/10 Excellent! (234 reviews)
A unique, attractive, boutique-like facility with lots of attention paid to detail appearance. Very nice, stylish rooms. Excellent very helpful staff (limited English speaking). Somewhat “strange” partnership with neighboring facility where connecting ponds water features are located (a fair walk, especially the return uphill). Fairly isolated and difficult to get to with very limited activities.

7.8/10 Good! (2,028 reviews)
The overall property and service was incredible. I felt welcomed the culture and heritage was shown in every aspect. The food took some getting use to (cultural differences). Recommend for a week trip with family. Also recommend doing local excursions.
