Amazing cottages. Private, massive rooms, private garden space within each cottage, well appointed, all amenities, super helpful staff, including the boking dude, who let 4 of us stay in one cottage and gave a superb discount. Waiters, pool staff all fab. Food was ok, not great. They have a high-profile moody expat chef, but if you avoid him and work with the local kitchen staff, you are in for a treat.

My wife and I enjoyed 3 nights here and loved it. The staff are super friendly, the room was huge and the grounds were spotlessly clean. Food was great but the real highlight has to be the coffee shop on the premises, Bites. Best coffee in ABay by far with an amazing selection of cakes. We'll be back fo sho

Room was pretty spacious and so was the wash room. Clean & well attended. No TV &/Or telephone and I appreciated that. Drinking water bottles were replenished regularly along with tea & coffee. Mini bar with 12 items did not interest me. Well managed property with 12 rooms had a pool which could be used by all. The team lead by RM Dinal took care of all guests with a smile & a personal touch. The two dogs in the premises came handy to chase the monkeys away. Though it was not a norm for me,many appreciated their presence.

I spent 5 nights at The Spice Trail. I fell in love with the hotel from the moment I walked in. The rooms are very spacious... even after adding an extra bed it didn't feel cramped up... therefore it's ideal for families! The entire property is maintained very well. Oh we loved the pool! So refreshing and again very clean. I have seen them cleaning the pool every morning. The quality of food was very high. We specifically loved the Ramen... it was out of this world. We enjoyed every single dish we tried on the menu from the eggs benedict to the yellowfin tuna sashimi. The staff was extremely helpful and went out of the way to do my laundry within 24hrs. The Spice Trail is with no doubt the best hotel on the strip! We will be back... thanks for making our stay a memorable one!
