Cuisines here are full of design, creative and care, the service and surrounding just perfectly match your needs, either in romantic candlelight or in fresh organic energy. French styles with local flavors are especially unforgettable.

Considering that this is a luxury resort, it was a surprise that the prices of food here isn't pricy. The cooking is good and the serving of dishes is well-paced. Only thing to note though is you can just be a walk-in guest. For privacy, you need to do your booking in advance and only registered cars are allowed into... More

Service is relatively slow despite being the only guests in the resort - somehow food is simply tasteless but not sure about the calorie content

Organic food served fresh, great service from personalised Butlers Janet & Ganesan. Pomelo Salad was refreshing and piquant. Beef Tenderloin just melted in the mouth and Flourless Chocolate Cake was out of this world.
