I recently visited this resort, which was beautifully maintained amidst lush greenery and not far from the city center. The rooms were perfect for a family holiday, spacious and comfortable. However, the dining experience was frustrating, with extremely slow service that detracted from my overall enjoyment. The restaurant management seemed disorganized, leading to long waits for food and inadequate staff support. Despite these drawbacks, I had a pleasant stay overall.

Our stay at Serai was truly unforgettable! The staff's warmth and attention to detail made us feel special throughout our visit. The rooms were magnificent, featuring private pools and top-notch amenities that exceeded our expectations. While the dining options were extensive and delicious, a slight improvement in the dessert selection would have been ideal. Overall, the value is exceptional, but the service during peak hours could have been a bit more prompt.
