Place is magical, stunning views and lots to explore in the area.

Flavia United Kingdom

beautiful location and accommodation with incredible surroundings. A slice of paradise.

James United Kingdom

In the middle of nature, the cottages are hidden away and rusticly quaint. We had a plunge pool, the water was cold but refreshing after a hike! The staff were friendly and helpful. The Heritage plantation tour was fab, seeing and tasting the amazing array of fruits and nuts grown around us, and the walk trails around also good! Breakfasts were tasty and food in the restaurant all good, though we really enjoyed our dinners out at nearby restaurants where there were beautiful sunset views and fab food and cocktails. The transport between all the sites was always great service and friendly/helpful, though all the taxis etc do add up price wise. Massage was excellent. Sulphur Springs nearby were great and we walked up to the Tet Paul trail which is defo recommended.

Sophie Jersey

Really unusual property tucked away in the forest on a chocolate plantation. accommodation is enormous - as had a whole house for the two of us! staff were super friendly and it was easy to get out and about to see the sights

Joanna United Kingdom

wonderful location; cottages spacious and nicely presented with a middle-of-the-rainforest feel

Claire United Kingdom

Very relaxed and staff incredibly helpful. pool areas quiet and clean. Rooms lovely

Jane United Kingdom

Service at the restaurant was very slow. Waited 45 mins+ for our food most times.

Tiffany United Kingdom

Breakfast was nice i chose the location options all the time, dinner was not always consistent but still good and the location was prefect for dong tours near by.

Nikims United States

Very welcoming, professional staff. Lovely room, outdoor shower. Great food in the restaurant, with local dishes. The hike up to the viewpoint. General atmosphere was warm and friendly. The grounds were very well kept. The chalet/bungalows were large and clean and nicely decorated. Bathroom was modern.

    We have one cottage with A/C on the property. The resort is at high attitude hence the reason we use ceiling fans in the cottages. It gets extremely cool on evenings and should you wish we can add a standing fan in your cottage.
