Tiki Villas Rainforest Lodge & Spa

Tiki Villas Rainforest Lodge & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at Tiki Villas. The properties were well furnished and in an idyllic location and the restaurant and pool area is exceptional. Admittedly, you can here some road noise on occasions in the distance but this is almost inevitable along this part of the coast. Also, it's nothing compared to the noise of the wildlife 😀. There was a problem when we booked in, as we were supposed to have a double double villa but due to some issue with their bookings, they had overbooked these type of villas but instead they offered us two double bed villas at no extra cost. This annoyed at the time as we had booked some months ago and I asked to see the manager to explain the reasons for this. The man at reception, Gerald, was apologetic and went to see the manager. Gerald came back and stated again we had been offered the other Villa at no extra cost and I could cancel if I wished. However, it would have been nice if the Manager himself could have come over and spoken to me, as I subsequently realised he was only seated in the restaurant close by. Anyway, we did not let this spoil our stay and we ate at the restaurant every evening and food was excellent. In addition, our breakfast every morning, which we hadn't realised was complementary, was also exceptional. The staff were also very helpful. I've mentioned Gerald but I would also like to pass on a special thanks to Walter, who served us in the restaurant most evenings. He catered for our every need and was very professional"
