I surfed the web and found a couple of places and chose Koonyum Retreat just to relax and have a good time and that is exactly what I did. This place is absolutely magical, I choose the edge villa. Breathtaking views from the Edge villa and the hot tub sums it all for me. The villa itself is really clean and fully equipped. The view from the bedroom is stunning, I set an alarm to witness every sunset and sunrise while I'm there because you just can't miss the view its beautiful!
I arrived at 3 pm and I already booked a facial and a massage the day before at 3:30 pm. I wish I had the facial outiside on the deck but the weather wasn't in my favor it was a little bit chilly so I had to do it in the villa itself. I loved how they use all natural stuff on my face (you know me I prefer natural and organic) and she had the best scalp massage ever I couldn't even stay awake after she left I had to take a nap. Such a relaxing experience!
If you're looking to order dinner or lunch from the retreat you have to let them know 24 hours before, I would've loved more dinner and lunch choices though. I had my dinner the first night on the deck and then wen't into the bath tub to relax; counted the stars till I felt sleepy and went to sleep (no I'm not kidding its such a beautiful experience to be able to relax in the hot tub and count the stars). I wish I had my DSLR camera with me to show you guys the beautiful sky full of stars.
On my second day I had my breakfast on the deck and enjoyed the stunning views and the lovely weather. I booked the villa with the breakfast so I didn't pay for it. You'll get: Orange juice, milk, bread, croissants, butter, jam, muesli, delicious scones, cheese and best of all the yoghurt. Oh my god the yoghurt was super tasty I wanted more and more.
The sun was very hot that day so I thought why not sunbathe? it turns out it wasn't a good Idea. The place was filled with insects, all kinds of insects. I'd say the only thing that bothered me during my stay were the insects I couldn't even set for 5 minutes without being bothered and annoyed by them. I got bit by one and I'm still in pain and it looks really bad and after all that I saw lizards everywhere I seriously was terrified. Jumping, running and screaming didn't know what to do!
I finally gave up and went inside until its before sunset so I could have some peaceful time in the hot tub and thank god they were all gone.
Can we all just appreciate the view for a moment? isn't it breathtaking? I spent two days here and still need more. The owners actually spent nine months piecing together this mosaic spa, how talented are they?
Overall:
Cleanliness - 10
Location - 10
Staff - 10
Comfort - 9 (just because of the insects)
Facilities - 10
Value for money - 9
