Exactly as advertised! Nice and relaxing experience.
I have been wanting to stay at a Kuriftu Resort for the past 8 years. At first, my group of 15 people was very excited to stay here. But virtually every interaction with the resort staff was frustrating, to say the least. Our bags ended up all over the place, including left in the dirt on the side of the road. The housekeeping staff passed off an old mini bar charge to our bill, which resulted in a several hour dispute with the management. The food at the restaurant was average, but the service was terrible. I never waited less than 45 minutes for a bill, and always ended up simply standing at the register holding out money before anyone would actually produce anything. And the management was not accommodating with late check out (even for 1 room) or luggage assistance when requested. It took over 2 hours for me to get the final bill to check-out...and I had already prepaid all the rooms! It was a truly exasperating experience. Such unprofessional behavior. With literally hundreds of staff, you would think at least a few would have been trained adequately. Alas, I never met one. I would never stay here again and wouldn't recommend it to others either.
