We stayed for 4 nights with our four sons. They shared Room Komang- double and twin and we had Room Lola - both I believe to be deluxe separate cottages /rooms. Loved our bathrooms Lovely hibiscus lemonade arrival welcome drink Had our rooms ready before the allocated time Food fabulous (except perhaps the tangerine basil juice thing !) we all loved the variety in the breakfast tapas , had the burger specials for our 1st lunch (chicken , mushroom , jackfruit all great!) plus tried out the vegan buffet on the Sunday ! 5 of us had a massage - some for their first time - all great I also had a manicure/pedicure so helpful finding a time that suited We didn’t try the yoga sadly Odd walk to the monkey forest - but fine once you’re used to it Thank you to all the team

Lovely welcome from Made when we arrived. The grounds were absolutely lush and I felt a strong sense of calm when I was there. We booked a house with a king size bed, a single bed plus another on the mezzanine for so space for our children too. Great to have a beautiful private space. Loved the outdoor bathroom and the veranda. The bed was extremely comfortable. Highlights were: A fantastic hatha yoga session for two Enjoying a lovely glass of wine/beer at the bar in the evening Lots of spa treatment options so had some fab massages etc from very friendly staff Great location Staff very helpful and friendly Cute cats about! Surrounded by plants and flowers Food was good but we struggled a bit with the predominantly vegan and vegetarian options (but we were aware before we arrived so not a criticism) but plenty of other options locally.

We stayed here for my mothers birthday for 2 nights. The restaurant staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The reception staff less so. When you arrive the entrance is through a long-ish neglected walkway and then you reach the cottages with a sign telling you which direction the reception is. We walked to the reception and weren’t very warmly greeted despite some good initial communication over WhatsApp. We checked in and went to our room which was nice, but a little tired. The floorboard is going to cave in soon if someone stands right on it and the bathroom door is ridiculously squeaky that if you need to get up in the night to go to the toilet, you’ll wake all of your fellow travellers up. We thought the room was smaller than what it appears online, but sufficient for a short stay. It was lovely hearing the cicadas, and also lovely that there were frogs and other wildlife about. The only thing we didn’t like was that the cats were in the dining area cleaning themselves and coughing up furballs right on the sofa of our table…the cats shouldn’t be allowed in the dining area it is very unsanitary and not nice to have a cat doing that next to you whilst you’re trying to enjoy breakfast. The water in the room is very old…the big water tank was nearly empty and it tasted quite fousty. So perhaps they should replace the water tanks more frequently as we didn’t end up using it during our stay after we tried it, and unfortunately we had to buy bottled water elsewhere instead. The restaurant menu is lovely, I could have tried everything on it that was vegetarian. However, breakfast is very small. You get 2 tiny tapas plates which is just not sufficient. An average person needs at least 3 of the sized dishes for it to be an adequately sized breakfast. The juices were okay, nothing special and the coffee was nice. We also ate there for dinner on one night which again was okay, but nothing special. We certainly expected more from the food. They knew it was my mothers birthday so they arranged a complimentary flower arrangement and also a vegan bounty bar for her at breakfast which was such a lovely touch and really nice of them to arrange. All in all, we unfortunately wouldn’t stay here again. The place is a little tired/in need of some TLC and the food just wasn’t to the standard we were all expecting.
