I had a mixed experience at this resort. The location next to the Kali river backwaters was absolutely stunning, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. The rooms were nice and spacious, with air conditioning and a lovely view of the river, although they could have been a bit cleaner. The service was cooperative, but it lacked warmth. Overall, it's a decent value for money, but I expected a bit more in terms of cleanliness and service.

My stay at the resort spa was quite memorable. The setting next to the Kali river backwaters offered a tranquil atmosphere, and the river views from my room were impressive. While the rooms were nice, they could have been cleaner. The service provided by the staff was generally good, though it lacked a bit of warmth. For the amenities, the spa facilities added a luxurious touch, but some areas felt a bit dated. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there's definitely room for improvement.

The resort is beautifully situated right by the Kali river backwaters, which adds a stunning natural view to the experience. While the rooms are nice and have air conditioning, I did find them not very clean upon arrival. The service was cooperative and could assist with various requests, which was a plus. However, the accessibility is not great as it's next to a village in the jungle, making it feel a bit isolated for some. Overall, the price felt reasonable given the setting, but improvements in cleanliness would enhance the experience significantly.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location next to the Kali River backwaters was serene and picturesque, making for some lovely views. The rooms were nice but unfortunately not very clean, which detracted from the stay. On the upside, the service was good and cooperative, making the overall experience more enjoyable. However, it would have been great if the cleanliness matched the beautiful surroundings.
