斯派瑟斯塔梅林德療養飯店

Where to begin - the surroundings are exquisite, green lush gardens, villas dispersed in a way that maximises views of the landscape - everything about this place just makes your heart sing from the friendly staff, the wholesome food which left you feeling decadent spoilt with every morsel, the waterfall at the bottom is just a bonus to the lovely gardens. I didn't get to use the pool as I spent my time in the hot tub which was just what I needed, then washed with the luxurious leif body products, it was too warm to use the wood burner in my room though could smell others had enjoyed it before me. And at the end of the day, the bed was so comfortable that I just knocked out. All of this doesn't come cheap of ofcourse but can well understand the price.

At $ 800 per night, this has to be a special treat. And, I'm happy to report, it is. Spicers have got the concepts of luxury, relaxation and pampering down to a fine art. No detail is overlooked and it all happens in a non-pompous, casual manner. We stayed in Luxury Forest Villa #13, which is the furthest from reception and restaurant ; total peace and quiet, but still an easy stroll for a meal. It is a small house, with everything that you could possibly need, and of the best quality. The bed is divinely comfortable, the bath with amenities opulent. Late afternoon we were invited for some complimentary dumplings in the restaurant : 2 per person and you buy your own drinks. The grounds are well maintained, but have kept their-foresty look ; there is a 15 minute walk to "the falls", a small natural pool with waterfall (which was hardly running because of the lack of rain). You can choose to have your breakfast in the room or in the restaurant, and we decided for the latter. There is a complimentary continental (banana bread, small yoghurt and fruit) and you choose 1 main. Although delicious, I thought it was a fairly small offering and I could have done with a little more. Spicers is the perfect place to forget about problems and stress ; unwind and re-load the batteries. A very special treat.

We only had one night at Spicers Tamarind Retreat but we enjoyed every moment from the complimentary prosecco, to the hot tub on the deck, the complimentary afternoon dumplings, the amazing dinner in the Tamarind Restaurant, and the walk to the waterfall in the morning. Our villa was clean and comfortable and the complimentary toiletries and teas were appreciated as well. Our only regret is that we were only able to be there for one night.

The accommodation and grounds did not disappoint. Secluded villas with everything you need to relax and enjoy your stay. Staff are friendly and attentive. Our package included breakfast and 3 course dinner. Recommended.

Lovely peaceful retreat. We had 2 nights with dinner B&B Our spa studio was comfortable. Our own little hot tub was the highlight. Food was good (not great but we are VERY hard to please)..........dinner and breakfast. Professional and friendly staff.

We stayed at the hotel for 5 nights in late February. The villa was very nice and we got lucky to get one in the front row. A comfortable recliner on the terrace would have been nice, but apart from that the location and villa was fantastic. The service unfortunately, while in most cases friendly, was not up to the standards. Most service personnel really tried their best, but it was clear that most were not trained to work in a 5* hotel. While we are not snobs expecting the ultimate experience, you would expect a level of service quality that is at least similar to a 5* city hotel that offers rooms at a third of the Spicers Tamarind hotel. It was largely the small things - we had to ask for a few things repeatedly, on the day of my 50th birthday (staff knew about it) it would have been a nice gesture to get maybe at least a little up candle with breakfast or at dinner, but there was just nothing at all. When you stay 5 nights around such an event it feels a bit disappointing. Food was good on most days, but a bit repetitive when you stay that long. At least we managed to get a table at the Montville hotel. On the first day the deserts were clearly many days too long in the fridge and completely dried out, since we got very different versions of the same on our last day. All in all a great hotel in an even better location, but for the money you pay you would expect a far better experience. Did we enjoy our stay? Yes. Would we come back? Don’t think so
