Xandari Resort is a true gem! The gardens are simply stunning, providing a beautiful backdrop throughout our stay, and the villas offer incredible views that made us feel at ease right away. I loved the massage I received at the spa, although it was a little disappointing that slippers weren't provided for moving around. Overall, the resort has a peaceful and relaxing vibe, making it a perfect escape, but a few minor improvements could truly elevate the experience.

Staying at this hotel was truly an immersion in nature, with beautiful gardens and fascinating hiking trails leading to waterfalls. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering great views, but the dining experience had some room for improvement, particularly with breakfast portion sizes. While the main infinity pool had stunning views, my spa experience was inconsistent, as one visit was fantastic while the other fell short. Overall, it's a peaceful retreat close to the airport, making it a convenient choice for travelers.
