    The breathtaking views from our spacious villa were unforgettable, especially the serene ocean and lush mountains. The hotel's setting provided easy access to common areas, making it comfortable for seniors like myself to navigate.

    More accessible activities for seniors would be beneficial.

    lack of significant concerns

    I had a wonderful experience. The staff took care of every detail for my stay. They prepared a relaxing bath for me after a long day. The food was of high quality, and the surroundings felt peaceful. I appreciated the thoughtful touches, like keeping refreshments available in the lobby. I felt at home.

    Nothing significant stood out as a concern.

    A Hidden Gem with Exceptional Service

    We had an unforgettable stay! The complimentary pick-up from the airport set a welcoming tone. The breathtaking forest view from our villa was mesmerizing, while the meals at the restaurant exceeded our expectations. Don't miss the happy hour snacks! Highly recommend renting a car for convenient island exploration.

    Beautiful views from our spacious room.

    I was quite disappointed with the accessibility options for seniors. We struggled with getting around certain areas of the hotel. It would have been helpful to have more tailored activities for older guests during our stay.

    stunning views and exceptional service

    The ocean view from my villa was breathtaking, truly a highlight of the stay. I enjoyed outstanding spa treatments that were both relaxing and rejuvenating. The food provided during my stay exceeded my expectations, especially the gourmet dinners that felt Michelin-worthy. The hot baths drawn for us after our hikes were a lovely, personalized touch that made my family feel pampered.

    The only downside was the limited accessibility options for seniors in certain areas of the property.

    cramped room

    A bath waiting for us!

    After a long day of hiking, we returned to find a warm bath drawn just for us. The staff’s attention to detail truly made our stay unforgettable.

    Despite the incredible service, the room felt slightly cramped with furniture, limiting the spacious feel we expected from the villa.

    breathtaking scenery
    attentive staff
    limited accessibility
    slight isolation
    lack of vibrant culture

    The Villa with Forest View provided a calming retreat with breathtaking scenery of lush greenery. Dining was a highlight, especially the freshly made sandwiches that were both innovative and flavorful. Even with the typhoon weather, the attentive staff ensured comfort by offering rainproof trekking suits and preparing relaxing baths after our hikes. However, more accessible activities for seniors could enhance the experience, and while the location was serene, it felt slightly isolated for those seeking vibrant local culture.

    garden area
    incredible food
    cramped villa

    We had an amazing time relaxing in the large outdoor pool and enjoying the peaceful garden area. The food was incredible, and we even got a complimentary upgrade for dinner, which was a lovely surprise! The only small hiccup was that the villa felt a bit cramped with too much furniture, but it didn't take away from our fantastic stay. 😊

    The Villa Forest View was super spacious and comfy, with a nice day bed and night bed combo. Loved the large bathroom with a fantastic indoor hot tub! The views of the ocean and lush landscape were unreal. Everything felt modern yet earthy, fitting perfectly in the tropical vibe. The amenities were high quality, and the whole room just felt luxurious. Honestly loved chilling there after hiking all day.
