A great resort, located in the jungle by the lake. The rooms are very spacious and clean. There is a beautiful swimming pool. The facilities are not new, and the air conditioner stopped working in the middle of the night.

The property is located in front of the lake. Immersed in nature it is very suggestive. We arrived around 6pm and unfortunately the pool closed at 6.30pm so we didn't have time to test it. They offer free spa service but massages are subject to charges. The restaurant is well stocked with alcohol, you can eat discreetly buffet-style cuisine, both typical Asian and international, for around €15 per person. Breakfast is also a buffet; you can find sweet/savory products and freshly cooked eggs. Our room (deluxe double) was very nice, on two levels: in the lower part the bathroom has a particular concept. A sliding door takes you directly into the room with a half roof covered only by a net. All very beautiful but impractical and above all there is the risk of finding many insects, as in our case. In the upper part there is the bedroom, very comfortable. The upholstery is not entirely clean and this contrasts with the entire structure.

Das Hotel macht auf den ersten Blick einen schönen Eindruck, insbesondere die Zimmer und die außenliegenden Bäder sind optisch ansprechend. Doch beim genaueren Hinsehen wird deutlich, dass vieles bereits abgenutzt ist. Service – mangelhaft und unorganisiert Der Service ist eine der größten Schwachstellen des Hotels. Ein Großteil der Angestellten gab an, gerade erst eingeteilt worden zu sein, und wirkte dementsprechend orientierungslos. Zudem war die Verständigung auf Englisch oft schwierig. Zimmer & Klimaanlage – lauter als erholsam In unserem Zimmer war die Klimaanlage mit einer Lautstärke von 50 dB so laut, dass entspanntes Schlafen unmöglich war. Sechs verschiedene Mitarbeiter versuchten das Problem zu lösen, kamen aber letztendlich zu dem Schluss, dass alle Zimmer mit demselben System ausgestattet seien. Erst nach intensiver Diskussion und Nachdruck wurde uns schließlich ein anderes Zimmer mit einer leiseren Klimaanlage angeboten. Wäscheservice – teuer und unzuverlässig Der Wäscheservice ist sehr kostspielig, sodass man eine entsprechende Qualität erwarten würde. Leider haben wir ein weißes T-Shirt mit deutlicher gelber Verfärbung zurückbekommen. Unsere Beschwerde wurde zunächst abgewiesen, erst auf Nachdruck wurde das T-Shirt erneut gewaschen – mit dem Ergebnis, dass es am nächsten Tag zusätzlich orange Punkte aufwies. Wieder versuchten mehrere Mitarbeiter, sich herauszureden, anstatt eine angemessene Lösung anzubieten. Restaurant – lange Wartezeiten, überforderte Küche Das Restaurant öffnet für das Abendessen erst um 19:30 Uhr. Bei größerem Gästeaufkommen schien die Küche schnell überfordert zu sein. Mit unserem dreijährigen Kind mussten wir 45 Minuten auf unser Essen warten – eine Zumutung, insbesondere für Familien. WLAN – nur begrenzt verfügbar WLAN gibt es lediglich in der Lobby und im Restaurant, was für ein modernes Hotel unzureichend ist.

Das Deerpark Hotel mit seiner Lage inmitten der tropischen Natur und dem Blick auf den See ist ein magischer Ort. Wir, eine Gruppe von 12 Personen haben die Sonnenuntergänge auf der Plattform mit Seeblick und einem Sundowner genossen. Alle Zimmer und Cottages hatten einen Balkon oder eine Terrasse und sind mit kolonialem Flair ausgestattet. Die Anlage bietet alle Annehmlichkeiten großer Hotels, wie 2 Pools mit Service, einen Whirlpool, Sauna und Dampfbad. Die Buffets am Abend und auch zum Frühstück ließen keine Wünsche offen. Dem Personal ist es ein Anliegen seine Gäste zu verwöhnen und war stets hilfsbereit. Dieses Hotel ist der ideale Ausgangspunkt für die Besichtigung aller historischen Stätten in der Umgebung. Wir kommen sicher wieder. Christine
