The hotel is a lovely experience with a few standout features. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped with great amenities, but the Wi-Fi connection can be spotty. The service here is top-notch, especially after speaking with the manager. The location is stunning, right by the Sabi River with breathtaking views, though it can get noisy at times near the restaurant. The dining experience is a highlight with delicious glazed croissants but lacks some variety. The facilities are modern and well-maintained.
