Very nice area with trees, and a nice swimming pool. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good wifi (most of the time). The only thing was that on some evenings there was a party which was a bit noisy.

Nice location in a forest and the staff are great. The food is also good. However, the property needs a major upgrade and renovation. The place has seen much better days and is falling apart. There are also safety issues - stairs in the units that are falling apart, no railings etc. Nevertheless, we were relatively comfortable. Being able to use the Kabira Club facilities is nice.

Nice property but caters to events
This property is lovely and the staff was great, but this hotel absolutely caters to events. There were loud weddings throughout the day and evening and one night the restaurant was closed due to an event. Hotel guests had to scramble to find a nice place to sit for a meal (and the high tops were not comfortable). Without events, I would stay here again. With events, I would not.

This is a great place to get away, the property is packed with many activities located on the property, becuase its stationed on a hill it can be quite chilly in the mornings and evening in the room. . A gentle suggestion would be a Split unit or a heater in the rooms to remove the chill, as hard as it is to believe my wife and i got sick 😫 as a result of this, outside of that the place is great! . Would definitely go back!

Not worth the price
Beautiful property and the simple twin room was mostly very nice, BUT I wouldn’t recommend or stay here again. There were multiple parties both nights I stayed, replete with DJs, thumping bass music, kids popping balloons and it lasted until after 11pm both nights. I had a room between the 2 parties so I got blasted with Christian songs from one side and pop music and a DJ talking on the other side. On the second night my room didn’t have water. I alerted the front desk (Shakira is amazing) and was told that it would be on within 15 mins. Two hours and four trips to the front desk later, I got fed up and showered in the pool house. The manager hid in his office and made the poor desk staff deal with my repeated complaints and questions. Dinner at The Avocado House was good, breakfast was okay. Also, beds were saggy in the centre. I would not recommend this place.

DO NOT STAY HERE. I kept my two suitcases behind the front desk for about 8 hours on the day that I checked out before I took a car to the airport. (They do not have a luggage room.) I had luggage locks on both suitcases. When I returned to pick up my bags, one luggage lock was missing, and the other had been broken off. I had nothing valuable in the suitcases, and nothing (from what I can tell) was taken. I called the hotel management, and they said they asked their employees if they did it. Since all the employees denied breaking into the suitcases, they said it didn't happen. What was otherwise an ok stay was ruined by this experience.
