overrated and overpriced

location excellent views air conditioning uncomfortable sleep
the location had views. that's something, i guess.
this place tries to pass itself off as fancy. the lack of air conditioning in the room made sleeping difficult. it was just a fan pushing around hot air. what a joke.

amazing scenery and great service

spacious room comfortable bed amazing view
the rooms are spacious and well laid out, i appreciated the massive, comfortable bed. the huge bathroom included a great walk in shower, perfect for enjoying the amazing views during my shower. shashin, the room boy, kept the room immaculate and provided friendly chats.
The road leading to the resort was unpaved. This felt unsafe, especially after heavy rain, as we had mud all over us when trying to reach the skywalk.

Romantic Getaway Among Tea Plantations

expansive balcony king-size bed rain shower daily housekeeping
Our room was a haven. It featured an expansive balcony ideal for intimate moments? The king-size bed offered ultimate comfort after our daily explorations, though the pillows were not quite perfect. The bathroom included dual sinks and a luxurious rain shower. It was quite indulgent. We found the daily housekeeping perfect, and the complimentary tea selection was good.
The buggy service was sometimes delayed during peak hours, though it was a minor inconvenience.

The resort's location near Little Adam's Peak provided easy access for morning hikes. That was very handy. The proximity to the Nine Arch Bridge allowed for spontaneous visits. It was a great experience. The surrounding tea plantations created a serene atmosphere.
