Ilawoods Resort and Sanctuary by Cocotel

They handled our concerns very poorly after we booked through airbnb. No one took responsibility for the miscommunication between the parties involved, and guests were left to find their own solution. They even changed the airbnb listing without accounting for the confirmation email that had already been sent with the itinerary and complete booking and listing details. Their handling felt unprofessional, and they also lied. The screenshots may not have matched what we reported to airbnb, but the email was evidence of their scam.

There’s room for a lot of guests here, with multiple villas, and the staff were very attentive. The grounds are landscaped to feel close to nature, and there’s enough parking for several vehicles. There are two pools, one recreational pool that’s 5 feet deep and one lap pool at 6 feet. You can use the karaoke rooms or ask to have karaoke brought closer to your villa. It’s a nice place for a staycation.

The piggery smell nearby makes it hard to stay here for long.

The foul waste smell coming from the neighboring piggery is the one downside.
