Scent of Green Papaya

We recently stayed at a hotel I booked through Agoda, opting for the cheapest deal. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I wanted to share my thoughts. The entire property has a nice garden resort vibe, which we really enjoyed. The room was spacious, and the bathroom was huge—definitely a highlight of our stay. However, I do have a few suggestions for improvement: Lighting: The room could benefit from brighter lights. It felt a little dim, especially in the evening. TV Upgrade: The TV in the room was quite old-school. The remote was hard to navigate, and the overall quality felt outdated. It would be great if they upgraded this. Water Bottles: I would love to see them replace the small plastic water bottles with larger, more eco-friendly containers. It's a small change that can make a big difference in terms of sustainability. Mattress: The foam mattress wasn't as comfortable as I hoped. On the positive side, the staff at the kitchen were very attentive, and my parents especially loved the watermelon juice they served. It was refreshing and a nice touch. If you book a room, it includes free breakfast, which offers a good selection and large portions, along with brewed coffee and juice. The only downside was the limited food selection on the menu. While the quality was fine, having more options would be great. The property is located in a residential area, which might not be the most convenient for everyone, but they do offer complimentary transfers from time to time, which is a great perk. Overall, it's not the best value for money, but if you're looking for a relaxing, laid-back stay, I would recommend this property.

The rooms here are a 3.5 stars, old, mouldy, crap shower, food average. However the staff are fantastic and the pools amazing. A little distance from town, but an easy 10min walk or 100 peso tok tok ride. Noise restrictions within the hotel themselves would have allowed for a better stay if staff enforced this better (kids in pool at stupid o’clock in morning). Mattress firm, but comfy. Free wifi, TV works with English speaking channels. Overall, The pool and staff are worth the stay here!!!

This is a great place. Nice and quiet, tucked away, lovely calm atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. The food is nice and has a good drinks selection and a happy hour. I would like to see the hotel put guests in touch with each other when they're booking tours, if the guests are happy to. A group of us found ourselves on the same tour in different vehicles, this would be especially good for solo travellers.
