I had a mixed experience at the resort spa. The location amidst the tea estate was breathtaking, with beautiful green surroundings and well-maintained landscaping. However, the room I stayed in could have been cleaner, and there were a few bugs in the bathroom. While the facilities were decent, the dining options felt repetitive and quite pricey. Overall, it’s a beautiful spot, but there are certainly areas for improvement.

I had a pleasant stay at this resort spa surrounded by nature. The serene atmosphere is enhanced by the beautiful views from the property, creating an almost magical experience. While the rooms were comfortable, I wish they were a touch larger for more space to unwind. Dining was enjoyable but slightly on the pricier side. Overall, a nice getaway despite some minor drawbacks.
