I had a pleasant time staying at Colonial Village for two nights. The staff was really accommodating, allowing us an early check-in and ensuring we felt welcomed. The bistro/bar was a highlight with affordable snacks and some fun activities. However, I did find the Wi-Fi only being available in the bistro quite limiting, and there was a shortage of showers, which made things a bit inconvenient during check-out.

I had a pleasant stay here, especially appreciating the free transfer services and the helpful staff. The room was clean and well-ventilated, which made for a comfortable experience. However, I did find the kitchen facilities slightly lacking in space and variety. Overall, it offers good value for money, but it could use some improvements in dining options.

I had a decent stay at the resort. The location was great with easy access to the boat harbor and other attractions, but I had some issues with the room quality and the service regarding payment methods. The atmosphere was quite peaceful with lovely surroundings featuring wildlife and water features. Overall, it's a nice spot, just avoid heavy rains to prevent any muddy situations.

I had a pretty good time at this resort. The rooms were spacious and had great amenities like air conditioning and a lovely patio. The people were friendly, and the pool area was a nice spot to unwind, but the dining options were quite limited. Overall, I found it to be a decent value, especially given the spacious rooms, though some downsides in nightlife noise and basic food options held it back a bit.

Rooms

The en-suite room was large and clean, equipped with air conditioning and a ceiling fan. It had a nice touch with a patio to enjoy the breeze.

The resort is lovely, surrounded by nature with wildlife like peacocks roaming around, adding to its charm. It's somewhat secluded, so a car is needed to explore nearby areas.

I stayed for a couple of nights at this hotel and while it had some upsides, there were definitely a few downsides. The room was very basic but served its purpose, and the dining options at the bistro were surprisingly good and affordable. However, the noise from other guests and the somewhat outdated bathroom facilities made it less than perfect for a longer stay.

Rooms
6.0
The room was quite basic with just a bunk bed and a sideboard, but it was clean. Unfortunately, the doors didn't close properly, causing quite a bit of noise from outside.
Service

Service was decent, but there were some issues at the payment desk, which could use better training. They charged a fee for using a credit card that wasn't clear.

The location felt like a tropical oasis, with peacocks around and a lovely pool area. It's within walking distance to the boat harbor and there's a bus stop nearby for farther destinations.

The outdoor pool area was well-maintained and enjoyable, although the shared shower facilities were somewhat dated.
