Beautiful property with private beach (awesome gym views!), delicious meals and, most importantly, excellent service from the staff. So many sand flies and I came home with a million bites, but I believe it was worth it. Would highly recommend :)

Very disappointing and absolutely not worth the money. Having paid USD $250 a night, I expect the following: 1. A clean beach that is not full of garbage. Watching the disinterested man with the water buffalo walking across the beach and picking up a few big chunks of plastic and ignoring all other types of garbage was just sad. 2. WiFi in rooms, can’t believe this needs to be said in 2025. It is very obvious that the hotel managements wants the guests to spend time in their “public areas” spending money on overpriced and food and drinks. I am already paying a lot of mo eh for my room, this is not acceptable. 3. Much better food. Both breakfast and dinner was very poor and people running both did not seem to care at all. 4. Service that matches the money charged. At pretty much every point (check-in, breakfast, dinner, check-out) there were 1-2 people serving several groups of people. Whilst very friendly, they were very unorganised and slow. I was “accidentally” overcharged at all times when money needed to be paid, and had to point out the mistake before my bills were amended. The grounds are beautiful so the place definitely has good potential, it is a shame that none of was realised.

An amazing stay at a lovely resort in the rainforest, yet not too far away from KK. The staff are terrific and go out of their way to make you feel welcome at the resort. Thankfully we arrived the week after bad weather, so there was cleanup/fixing in progress, which is understandable. After seeing some of the other report options near KK, we definitely were lucky to get seclusion/privacy and nature in abundance. To mention some memorable staff (and other were also friendly/helpful but I can not recall their names, sorry!): Ellyrika, Cera, Eduardo, and Isaac (jungle guide with excellent English). Laurant, the French resort manager, does an amazing job at welcoming you, checking in regularly to make sure there is nothing you need and leaving personal notes/gifts to make the stay memorable. A big thank you to all at Bungaraya.
