1. Do not stay in this place, for all their overpriced services they sure will lie and forge receipts to get a couple of extra $100s out of you.

2. My husband and I enjoyed our time at the resort and the bungalow was cute, but the food options were overpriced, limited menus, and terrible hours of operations.

8. When we told them that the room was totally unacceptable not to mention absurdly overpriced, and that we were moving to the Four Seasons next door, they suddenly found us much better accomodations ( two separate cabins, SS1 and SS2, for the same price as the vastly inferior CM2) - so we decided to stay.
