Kariwak Village Holistic Haven and Hotel

The hotel is situated close to the airport runway but don’t let this put you off, it’s actually very quiet and the location itself is beautiful and tranquil. First the good parts, housekeeping is excellent with the rooms kept spotless all of the time and nothing seems to be too much trouble. The location as said is actually very good in that it is a small oasis with a pool bar and restaurant plus gardens hot tub and hammocks . The staff have been universally very nice people. Rooms are a little old-fashioned, and do have a few problems with improper lighting, with poor bedside lighting. There is air-conditioning but no ceiling fans which is a little bit of a drawback sometimes. The food in the restaurant is mostly very good, with occasional issues as you would expect from any chef I guess, but there is a strange but bad problem there, we found the seats university very uncomfortable. Not a cheap hotel, and I would expect better for the money.

My wife and I visited again for the second time and had a blissful week of peace and tranquility. We love it here it’s a haven of beautiful plants, trees and birds and so peaceful that time just doesn’t matter . Our garden cottage was great and had very good AC so the room was kept nice and cool . Also a ceiling fan to keep air moving . The room was spotlessly clean with service being carried out daily if required. The food was beautiful and prepared fresh with the hotel using many ingredients from their gardens . The staff were great and really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We look forward to another visit next year. Thanks to everyone at The Kariwak , you are amazing!

Stayed for two weeks, rooms are fine and kept spotlessly clean, staff are all friendly and helpful. Being close to the airport doesn’t distract whatsoever, restaurant is a bit pricy but food is very tasty. Couple of not so good points, don’t rely on them for airport shuttle, pool could do with refurbishment and floor level lighting going to the garden rooms would be a big safety improvement. Based on it current star rating excellent value for money.
