Encounter blackout.. but we get to enjoy firefly, start nights.. no aircond but hv hot shower. Kitchen provide cooking ware, microwave, stove, steamboat.. everything! Some Amenities still under construction.. still in progress. Look forward the complete one.

Stayed in the hotel single rooms. Pretty basic with everything as expected. Room was clean. Hot water was working. Has a nice window view of mount KK. No air conditioning here but the weather itself should be cold enough at night. Walked passed the villas and they looked very decent for whole families who would like to stay. But at the point of my stay there was still some construction ongoing around the area so the vibes may not be as pleasant as expected. Should be more amenities available in the area once the construction is fully completed. But still way better than the other stays that we passed by along the way as the area is more private and not some random lodging by the roadside. Reaching the place can be quite a journey and do expect climbing steep hills to reach the stay. Was a bit confused initially as there was no reception counter and it was kind of like a self check-in situation. Of course the WhatsApp number they provide is quick to address any concerns so it’s fine. Overall very good stay. Everything is still new as this place only opened just recently. In the future whether or not the place continues to thrive would depend on the maintenance and cleanliness of the facilities/rooms.

The place is clean and well-maintained. We really enjoyed both the exterior and interior designs of the Villa and Hotel, and in overall the serene and calm atmosphere it gives. The staffs are super friendly. During our stay, they responded and assisted swiftly every time we need help with.
