Lovely place to relax, super food and super attentive and friendly staff nothing too much trouble The rooms are lovely, they are literally up in the rainforest so there are steps to climb but you only need to ask a staff member and they will take you up in the car. The hotel has a farm inland and do a visit with the hotel chef to look around and prepare a meal, well worth it!

Fabulous Stay

Wonderful retreat high in the rainforest. Transportation provided up or down the hill whenever requested and ready to take us up to our place as soon as we arrived. Staff couldn’t be nicer or more accommodating. Excellent restaurants and spa. Great location. Lovely beach across the road where Holiday Villa will sell you a wristband for about $10 to use their pool, facilities, beach and pool lounges, and give you a beer or soft drink. Many restaurants nearby, though those at the resort are among the best. We’d go back any time.

Amazing Ambong

Amazing…..service. Every staff member greeted me by name. I remember a couple of name. Lee picked me up at the airport which is always nice to see a smile from after a flight. Azin was my driver for the hill and sister hotel. Dropped me off a scooter rental which was excellent. Elena saw me off and checked on my stay. 4 nights then stayed an extra night in the canopy suite. UPGRADE whenever possible! Raja the grounds keeper was always working on the gardens. Food was great. Wendy Chin for nature guide! Langer Monkeys are residents! Of course the naughty macaques…fun to watch. Almost forgot to mention the happy birthday surprises they made it special!

Watch the local taxis; they try to drop you at the bottom of the mountain and it’s impossible to get your suitcase up to reception. You then have to leave it unattended. I felt concerned as reception tried to sell me spa treatments over moving my luggage so a rocky start. That being covered I couldn’t really rate the lovely staff and accommodation. They were simply wonderful. Monkeys are so sweet but thieves :) watch your mobile and bright coloured nail varnish . Mine are all somewhere in the rainforest. You do need insect repellent. There are lots of mosquitoes. The staff will supply you if you forget and they don’t charge. The beach at the bottom of the mountain is stunning and not busy. Very clean ( no plastic) which seemed to be a problem as I traveled around Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam. Have a great stay!

The unique location of this property sets it apart. You really feel like you are immersed in the rainforest, with a front row seat to the lives of the animals that dwell in it. The service and care we received from all the staff at the retreat during our stay was exceptional. The dining was excellent and the views from the Rimba restaurant at sunset completely unforgettable. Definitely recommend to anyone who loves nature and is seeking peace and tranquility.

Wonderful place for anyone who is looking for an eco-friendly hotel. Staff were very helpful and tried their best to make our stay comfortable. Just note that the property is on a hill, which requires climbing some stairs to get to your room. Transportation around the hotel is provided upon request.
