Summary: I have stayed at Forest Cottages many times within the past ten. It never disappoints and is an oasis to within the hustle and bustle of the city.

Summary: Nice resort for temporary stay. Power isn't reliable and WiFi seldom works for note book computers. Also, the resort charges for everything, including water.

Summary: The first thing that happened was that they couldn’t find our booking. It took a long time, and the person at the reception seemed very incompetent. A few days later, we had a problem with rats in the room. It took us an hour to get the same receptionist to believe what we were saying, even though a cleaner came up to the room with us and saw the rat. That night we were given a different room, which was disgusting – very worn-down and dirty. The next day, we were moved again – another downgrade. A tiny room for the two of us, even though we were supposed to stay there for another whole week. We also had daily problems with lizard droppings in the room – it was everywhere. There was also poor hot water in the new room; every other day we had to take ice-cold showers. Worms were falling from the ceiling into the bed. We had to keep our suitcase shut at all times to avoid animals getting in. The Wi-Fi was okay. The pool was constantly full of kids splashing around, and you’d get water all over you, even though the staff told them off. The food at the hotel was good – very large portions, easy to share between two people. Overall, the hotel is in serious need of renovation.

Summary: The grounds are lovely, a true forest in the city. Over the years my travel companion and I have had three different types of accomodations, a small budget room, a two bedroom suite, and a cottage. They all had advantages and disadvantages, but we agree that the cottage we recently stayed in for four nights was our favorite. It had two patios, two en-suite bedrooms, a living/kitchen/dining room and was surrounded by lush greenery. If steps are a problem, maybe not suitable. The food here is varied and good and the chef accommodating. The included breakfast buffet is really good. We wanted to have a dinner for 18, and the event planner helped us plan a great buffet in the garden. Downside for people with any physical problem is steps. Lots of steps.

Summary: It’s a very pretty place as a whole. The patio and other common areas were well maintained and the plants made it so welcoming. It didn’t feel like we were in a city. The bedroom was very clean and the bed was comfortable with the addition of the fan to keep the room cool. It also had a small fridge. Something most places I stayed didn’t have. My only issues were the front desk staff didn’t have written down (on a log book) the reservation correctly and it didn’t coincide with what I booked or canceled in Hotels.com. The shower didn’t work. At least I was able to shower from the faucet on the wall, but the knob wouldn’t turn on the shower. There are very many steps, starting from the parking to the rooms. Anyone using a cane or other device may want to rethink staying here. Otherwise, this hotel is worth staying at. The restaurant was very good.

Summary: Very nice area with trees, and a nice swimming pool. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good wifi (most of the time). The only thing was that on some evenings there was a party which was a bit noisy.
