I had a varied experience at this resort. The location is beautiful beside the river, and while I enjoyed the outdoor activities available, my stay was marred by the poor quality of the rooms and dining. The service was generally lacking, which really dampened the overall experience for our group.

This resort is just disappointing overall. The location is stunning along the river, but the experience itself was far from enjoyable. The rooms were dirty and poorly maintained, while the service was lacking and often rude. Dining was a chore rather than a pleasure, making it hard to recommend this place despite the natural beauty surrounding it.

My stay at the resort was quite disappointing despite the beautiful location by the River Kali. The amenities offered a lot of potential for adventure, but the overall experience was marred by poor room conditions and inadequate service. While the staff at the water sports section were courteous and supportive, the hotel management seemed to lack proper training standards for the rest of the team. I would recommend considering other options to ensure a better experience.

My stay was quite a mix; the location right next to the river is stunning and offers a good range of water activities. However, the rooms were in dire need of renovation, and the dining experience was below average, with food lacking in quality and flavor. The service was frustrating at times, but some staff members did try to help, especially during water sports. Overall, it wasn't worth the price I paid.

The rooms were outdated and needed immediate renovation. They had cement patches and felt cold at night due to poor insulation.
