Truly Amazing Jeep Safari

The off-road jeep safari was an lovely experience! We explored the beautiful plantation and reached a stunning viewpoint. The thrill of the 4x4 ride combined with the amazing scenery made it an adventure I won't forget. If you're staying here, don't miss this unique experience!

Comfortable and Spacious Rooms

I stayed in one of the villas, and the spaciousness was impressive. It had a lovely sitting area and an open shower that added a nice touch. The ambiance was nothing short of a peaceful retreat, making it easy to relax in comfort after a long day of activities.

Relaxing Ayurvedic Massage

The Ayurvedic massage was fantastic! It was the perfect way to unwind after busy days of exploring. I left feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. The serene environment of the spa made the experience even more special. I highly recommend treating yourself to this during your stay!

I had a mixed experience during my stay at the resort. The tree house room was clean and spacious, offering a beautiful view of the lush plantations. However, I found the dining options lacked variety, and service could improve in certain areas. The location is stunning, surrounded by nature, but access to some facilities might be a challenge for older guests due to many steps. Overall, it was a decent getaway with room for improvement.

Carmelia Haven offers an exceptional experience with its beautiful surroundings and attentive staff. The unique duplex cottages provide stunning views, and the restaurant serves delicious food. However, some issues with service and amenities, like the jacuzzi not functioning properly, dimmed our overall experience. Still, I would definitely revisit for the fantastic atmosphere and serenity.
