My recent stay at Spicers Tamarind Resort was nothing short of fantastic. The accommodations were luxurious and comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. The dining options were exquisite, especially the breakfast, and I loved that the resort felt both secluded and conveniently located for exploring the beautiful surroundings. However, as much as I enjoyed my time there, I wish the prices were slightly more reasonable for the experience.
