Do not expect new rooms, rooms are old but price is expected and service level is very high And also is good to have local money

"Just what we needed, clean, friendly , great pool and nice atmosphere"

"Remort from town, surrounded by green. Good restaurant, proximity to convenience store."

None.

"The breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of food. The tropical gardens around the hotel were beautiful and larger than any hotel gardens I have seen elsewhere in Asia and very well maintained. In particular we would like to mention Mr Tony Tong the Hospitality Manager who was very helpful advising us on excursions and sorting out a serious travel problem (0ne railway ticket booked instead of two!)"

everything was fine

"Beautiful view, with exceptional service. The staff is extremely friendly, makes a point of learning your name and providing the personal touch. A bit outside the busy Stone Town area, very close to the airport. Well priced."

The breakfast is a bit disappointing, would have loved a strong cup of coffee, but the rest of the menu is really enjoyable, and the great service more than makes up for the slightly under par breakfast.

"Staff were accommodating. Pool and room service were great . Other guests were respectful."

Beds a bit too firm. Some septic smell in bathroom sinks. The restaurant was understaffed for new years.

"Such a pleasure visiting here for the weekend! The Tropic Air flight from Port Moresby that brings you straight to the resort gives breathtaking views of the terrain below. The resort is lovely, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff are friendly, attentive, and professional. We loved the little details such as them bringing popcorn to our room in the afternoon. The views of the fjords from the deck are beautiful, and the diving is incredible. There were only 4 of us here for the weekend and they took great care of us. We felt very pampered. The food was great; (I’d give it 8/10 for one overcooked fish and one serving of undercooked fries) but everything was always beautifully plated. It rained one day here but it felt cozy and relaxing and there was plenty to do: games, darts, ping-pong, pool, books, chilling… Definitely recommend visiting this place if you have a chance!"

Only 2 things: What they call “paddle boards” are not paddle boards. Those should be replaced ASAP. The kayak is great though. The plentiful mangos that fall all around the property aren’t collected; they’re left lying around to go bad. That’s unfortunate and doesn’t correspond to the otherwise pristine state of the resort.

"Rented a cabin and expected simplicity but it was more like a hotel room at an expensive hotel and there was fridge & freezer plus cooking facilities."

Little hard to find the parking for the cabin though. They were numbered but not clearly printed on the map we were given. Had to look around quite a bit before we found the parking spot. There was no information on how to practically check out. I drove the car towards the reception but the street in front of the reception had a no stopping sign. Had to reverse it back to the parking spot. Was a bit confused on what to do. Turned out that i should have walked and given the key cards to the reception or dropped them in a box and just driven to the exit and that the exit gate opened automatically.

"It is a small oasis, and the staff is very friendly and warm."

Aucun.

"A very well kept resort with friendly and helpful staff, who can arrange trips on the nearby lake at reasonable rates."

The location is a little way out of town, but it's handy for the lake

"The property itself is impeccable ,beautiful, well maintained, and truly inviting. I have absolutely nothing to complain about regarding the facilities. The food was good, with lighter flavors and not heavily seasoned, which I personally appreciated. The pork chops were definitely the highlight of my dining experience absolutely delicious."

Some of the reception staff, including one male receptionist, were not as friendly as one would expect in a hospitality setting. However, there was one receptionist who was exceptionally warm and welcoming..unfortunately, I didn’t get her name, but she truly made a difference in my experience. At the restaurant, one of the female attendants who assisted me every evening was also very kind and professional. On the downside, I felt uncomfortable at times because a few staff members repeatedly asked why I was alone. I found this persistent questioning unnecessary and somewhat intrusive.

"L'hôtel se situe dans un cadre naturel magnifique, l'on peut directement partir à pied de l'hôtel pour aller randonner. L'équipe de l'hôtel est très accueillante et a grandement facilité notre séjour."

"We are thankful for the wonderful Christmas week spent in villa Castoria. Marina Liptov. First of all, the accommodation itself: a nice family sofa, cosy fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, and a marvelous view to the mountains and winter river ❤️ The service is perfect!"

"What a beautiful place to spend a week. It was perfect for me to relax and easy access to Apo Island"

Nothing

"location is really good, in the middle of the beautiful Wallonia nature, Restaurant was pleasant and meals were of quality, swimming pool was quite big and it's somehow a pity the Sauna was small and there was no Hammam"

small Sauna, missing Hammam

"I loved the old world charm. The views were spectacular and the property was extremely well preserved"

The meal quality for dinner was reasonable. The breakfast buffet was poor.

"The main floor and dining area was beautiful... Staff were excellent. Food was superb. Out cottage was comfortable."

The cottage would have been better with a small kitchenette...and please get rid of those coffee machines as they leak water and make terrible coffee.

"Amazing staff (Diaz made it feel like home). Best food; in fact, the best we had in all Balkan countries. If you are in this village, do not miss this property."

Nothing

"The location was amazing. The pool was perfect. The warm indoor pool was very cozy. The staff were so kind. All the restaurants were fantastic. Diversity and quality of food and beverage were on top of niveau. Very good guest parking. A very family and kid friendly resort."

I can not remember any "bad" thing about the hotel.

"My stay was an exquisitely distinguished and memorable experience—truly worthy of being staged in a high-end film or luxury music-video production. I must also highlight the exceptionally gracious hospitality of Windward investor Mr. Andreas Kisslinger, who hosted a sumptuous birthday celebration for me at their exquisite on-premises restaurant."

"The staffs were friendly. Room is spacious and clean. Plentiful of counter space."

The buffet breakfast was canceled due to no more than 15 guests for the first morning. The hotel ordered breakfast (per our choice) from outside restaurant but the food were cold thus did not taste good. The hotel did have salad and porridge for the breakfast. The second morning buffet breakfast was not impressive and was below my expectation based on other reviews from Booking.com. Closet space is limited.

"Cleanliness, calm , white and bright , decorations, restaurants"

Rooms categories wish if there where bigger options with kitchen and tents or pools , no winter activities ( camping night , bbq , soccer, singer or dj , winter bazar seashore buffet) / sound isolation in the room is bad / outdoor lighting so dem

"I had such a lovely time there. The facilities are first rate and the staff is amazing. Everyone was so nice and so helpful. They put every effort into doing whatever was necessary to make my stay perfect. I was there kind of off season, so the spa was closed, but I wanted services, so they had someone come in for me. I had an amazing massage. The room was gorgeous, the bed was so comfortable, and I loved the shower. Breakfast was quite yummy and they had rooms service for other meals also. The boatman they had for my lake tour really took me all over the lake. The prices were reasonable, so I could relax and just enjoy the lovely place and not stress about anything."

I honestly can't think of anything. It would have been nice if their gift shop had been open, because I'd have like to buy some of the products they have in the bathroom.

"I had the most wonderful stay! The island was so incredibly picturesque, my chalet dreamy, the food phenomenal and Annarine and Rodney were absolutely gems! I felt so very safe and well minded. The wifi in the restaurant was top notch. Will definitely be back again soon! 🩷"

No wifi in the chalet hehe
