The resort is a massive property surrounded by lush greenery, perfect for families looking for activities. The kids particularly enjoyed the pool and the multitude of recreational options available. However, reaching some locations within the resort was a bit of a hassle, as walking could be tiring, especially with young kids. Also, there were some maintenance issues that could use attention.

I had a wonderful time at Esthell, which is a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. The atmosphere was peaceful, and I felt welcomed by the staff. While the swimming pool was fantastic, it would have been better if group pool access was managed differently. Overall, it's a lovely place for families with plenty of activities, but a few areas could use some improvement.

We had a really tough experience on our son's birthday at this resort. While the amenities seemed appealing, our overall enjoyment was hindered by the food quality and unexpected charges. It felt quite chaotic and far from what is typically offered at a resort. I wouldn't recommend it for celebrations unless things improve.

The resort is a perfect retreat for families, offering a variety of outdoor activities, although not all facilities were in top shape. The highlight was the amazing spa treatments, and the warm hospitality made my stay memorable. However, some amenities need updating, especially the air conditioning and billiards room.
