Overall, my stay at the hotel was relaxing and rejuvenating. The private bungalows are truly the highlight, offering a serene escape with beautiful views right from the deck. While the service was stellar and meals were delightful, the limited dining options and occasional service pressure for tips were minor drawbacks. Nevertheless, the ambiance and comfort made it a great getaway.
