Kasha Boutique Hotel is a serene retreat perfect for relaxation, surrounded by beautiful natural greenery. The villas are luxurious and spacious, and the private pools add a lovely touch. However, the service can be hit or miss, especially with the management’s attitude, which detracted from the overall experience. Dining options were decent but lacked variety and felt overpriced at times.

Set in a tranquil area with stunning views, the location is quite remote and requires a taxi to get to nearby attractions, but it gives you a glimpse of local village life.

The staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable, including a delightful surprise party for my girlfriend's birthday.

The bungalows boast stunning views and private plunge pools, offering exquisite luxury. I experienced incredibly friendly service throughout my stay, with staff going above and beyond to ensure our comfort.

My stay at this boutique hotel was nothing short of magical. The breathtaking views of the ocean and the beautifully designed private villas provided a perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The atmosphere was peaceful, filled with the sounds of nature and friendly villagers greeting us with smiles. While the lack of direct communication between the villas and the reception was a bit inconvenient, the warmth of the staff made up for it. Overall, it felt like a home away from home, with some room for improvement in communication.
