My stay at the resort was a bit of a mixed bag. The surroundings were stunning, nestled amidst tea estates and beautiful landscaping, providing a very serene vibe. However, the room I got was smaller than anticipated and not particularly clean. The dining options were satisfactory but rather repetitive. Overall, it offered a tranquil getaway, though there were certainly areas for improvement.
