Staying at Forest Canopy was an enchanting experience, with a perfect blend of tranquility and comfort. The ambiance was serene, nestled amidst nature, making it an ideal getaway. The rooms were spacious and clean, with a stunning view from the terrace. The exceptional hospitality of the staff, who were always accommodating, added to our memorable stay. However, the layout of the rooms may be a bit spread out for some guests, and the dining options, while delicious, could be more varied.

The staff was exceptionally warm and welcoming, making it feel like a home away from home. While the amenities were top-notch, my only issue was the lighting in the rooms, which could have been brighter. Overall, it was great value for money and I can't wait to return.
