Overall our stay at Seventh Heaven Resort was good. The location was nice, the pool was good, and the rooms were comfortable. But I felt quite uncomfortable with the behavior of the staff here. They were not welcoming at all and didnt even smile at us. Every time it felt like we were under surveillance, and that was really disappointing for our privacy. Maybe its a generation gap, I dont know. Apart from that, everything else was fine. But the housekeeping and their attitude was a bitter experience for all of us. I hope they try to improve this..

I had a wonderful 2-day stay at Seventh Heaven Stay. The place truly lives up to its name peaceful, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The rooms were well maintained, spacious, and had a very homely vibe. The hosts were extremely friendly and made sure everything was perfect throughout the stay. Their hospitality really stood out and made the experience feel personal and welcoming. The location was also great calm surroundings, and ideal for a relaxing break. Overall, it was a perfect short getaway.

An aesthetic place for group to enjoy, photographic places. We were a group of 20+, well accomodated, with good food and service. Nice balcony view for each room. A traditional wooden structure vibe. The pool was clean and neat. Service and staff were excellent. Nice places to walk around. Suggest for groups or couples. Thank you for your hospitality.
