The resort has a serene and natural atmosphere with beautiful surroundings, perfect for nature lovers. While the staff were friendly and the buggy service was excellent, the overall experience was marred by several issues. The dining options, particularly the breakfast, were quite disappointing, and there were problems with room maintenance, including noise and cleanliness issues. Despite the potential of the location, significant improvements are needed in both the food quality and the upkeep of the facilities.

My stay at this hotel was frustrating, primarily due to poor service and cleanliness issues. While the exterior of the resort is charming, the interior left much to be desired. I had high hopes for a relaxing experience, but unfortunately, it was marred by staff indifference and maintenance problems. I would not recommend this place if you're seeking a quality stay.

My stay at the resort was a mix of beautiful surroundings but disappointing services and facilities. While the outdoor environment was lovely and ideal for nature lovers, the room had significant cleanliness and maintenance issues. It was a real letdown considering the room rates, especially with the limited dining options and poor service I encountered.

Rooms

The room was cozy but had issues like a malfunctioning toilet flush and there was a musty smell as if it hadn't been occupied or aired out in a while.
Service
5.0
The staff was friendly enough, but they lacked the training to effectively manage guest requests. Some requests felt ignored, which was quite frustrating.
Location

The resort is quite far from central Melaka, which makes it challenging to get around, especially if you rely on Grab services. It could be ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle.
Dining

The dining options were below par, with limited choices and issues with food availability. Breakfast was just okay, but dinner would be a skip for me.
Facilities

Most facilities were under renovation, leaving only the pool available for use, which was disappointing given the high room rates.

I found the resort to have a charming, natural ambiance, with log chalets surrounded by trees providing a unique experience. However, the access to the resort was a bit tricky, and the noise from nearby festivities disrupted the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. The service could also use some improvements in efficiency.

The log chalets were cozy but felt cramped, and I noticed the presence of some leftover clothing items from a previous guest.

The resort has a lovely natural setting surrounded by greenery, providing a sense of serenity. However, the overall maintenance leaves much to be desired, as I faced several issues during my stay, including poor dining options and cleanliness. While the surroundings are beautiful for nature lovers, the state of the facilities and rooms significantly impacted my experience, making it hard to recommend for the price paid.

Nestled in a forest sanctuary, the resort is beautiful and perfect for relaxation, but reaching the attractions in the city can be a hassle as it's a bit far from the main area.
Dining

The breakfast was quite underwhelming, lacking taste and variety - in fact, it was one of the worst I've experienced at a hotel. It definitely needs major improvement.
Facilities

Many facilities were under maintenance during my visit, which was frustrating. The pool was the only notable amenity available, and while it was nice, it wasn't enough to make up for the overall lack.
