Nice but room for improvement
Great in theory, but it’s a little tired. Only one of the dining options was open, which was a challenge given it’s a long way from anything else. The pool is gorgeous but closes at 6, and the breakfast left a lot to be desired. Overall it was fine, but not what I expected for the price paid

I dont know.price just not worth it for overall
So far everytime want to go to room from lobby/swimming pool need to call buggy. Service buggy is good. Staff friendly. But why give room very far. Somemore internet line not clear. Yes its nice in jungle. But for me very difficult to walk very far. Place also lack of maintainence. Expecially at the pool.there are stone that is broken it hurt my leg when i swim in pool. Very dangerous. Must check the floor. Some part need to repair. The scenery is nice. And lastly. Guys please bring your own towel. I think management also need to change the towel. Its like a budget hostel la. Common. 5 stars hotel used this kind of towel. Thin. No label.and its looks old and yellowish already.bye!

Dissapointed trip
Facility in the room was not maintain. Dissapointed as requested for a king size bed, but 2 single beded provided. The hotel shld contact the customer if unable to accomodate/suggest for upgrading instead of dissaponting the customer during check in.

beautiful place but pity lack effort to keep it.
it was a very nice place to stay. people who love nature will be happy to stay here. cozy and beautiful. However due to not much activities here it makes the place "dead". should have some live band to play during peak time or have your massage spa available for your guest. it is cause resort and spa but there wasn't anything to do there besides the swimming pool. everything else like the spa, karaoke room not working and not available. we reached there evening and we ordered the food. it takes very long to come even though there are only the two of us there and the food prepared was not fresh. Satay dumpling rice was hard like it was just out of the fridge. the lava cake was hard. really disappointed. wish the management could do something to improve this beautiful place and not let it go to waste.

Nothing impressed us at this place except for the ambience & environment. (Booked Philea Suite) Staffs: 1. Not even a single smilling or friendly face. Everyone seem to look busy. 2. Hospitality from hotel staffs failed big time, during breakfast there were no drinking glasses beside the juice area, upon requests from the staff i think even a wall could have responded better. He merely took the empty tray and walked off without uttering a word. Cleanliness: 1.I understand that the rooms are made of woods but that doesnt give you an excuse to serve your guest with a musty smelling room. This clearly shows the rooms were not occupied for long and it wasnt cleaned or prepped. 2.What was suppose to be a romantic bathroom felt like walking into The Adam's Family house, cob webs at every corner of the wall. 3. We hardly spent 30mins at the pool, it was unbelievably dirty. Dirt particles floating and visible before even jumping in. You can only imagine what was the view like with goggles as we were using them. 4. During breakfast there was no empty space thus we had to wait to be seated which was fine. What was rather disappointing is they served us a table for 2 at a corner that was filled with filth from food particles under the table and uncleaned/wiped table. Amenities : 1. We were shocked at the fact that when we requested for 2 extra water bottles, we had to pay rm3 for each. Never have we ever experienced such a thing in a 5star as it was always complimentary.

good short staycation but room need maintenance
We booked 2 deluxe king rooms. One for my sister and one for my hubby and me. Unfortunately, our room has aircon was not cold and water heater not hot. Gotten the mechanical to repair twice fir the aircon before it could function properly. Spa is under renovation and dinner option is limited. Breakfast not very fantastic. But we love the lush greenery and peace of the surrounding.

Decent stay - could have been better.
Neighbours were noisy, and the soundproofing is terrible. Environment is nice, but a bit inconvenient. Buggies brought us to the room as it was a distance to walk, but it took 30 minutes for a buggy to bring us out to check out. It is a nice walk in the area back to the main building. Breakfast service is good, and the swimming pool is quite nice. Very baby/toddler friendly. For the price we paid, we would have expected bottled water upon request with no additional charge. I had to call reception twice to get the water - the first time, the request was acknowledged, however no one mentioned the charge. Subsequently, the bottles were not delivered. When I called the second time, and acknowledged there was a charge, the bottles were delivered shortly after. I spent 20 minutes waiting the first time.

Comfortable Quiet Resort
The place was very quiet - few guests because after the school holidays. Rooms are in two storey chalets surrounded by trees. The swimming pool is amazing and we had it pretty much to ourselves. Rooms are large and the internet is fast enough to be usable. Access is by golf cart buggies and there are a lot of uneven steps so it would be difficult for handicapped guests. Location could be better - it is far from Melaka town.
