Refreshing Pool

I had a good time relaxing at the swimming pool, which was clean and well-maintained. It's a nice spot to unwind, though I wish it was a bit larger. The overall ambience made it enjoyable.

I had a good overall experience at the resort nestled in the hills. The breathtaking views of the mountains and waterfalls were definitely the highlight. The spacious and beautifully designed rooms added to the comfort of my stay. However, the breakfast options could use some improvement in terms of taste, and I found the housekeeping response time to be a bit slow. These factors kept my experience from being absolutely perfect.

Dukes Retreat has a great location with stunning views and spacious, clean rooms, perfect for a weekend getaway. While the staff was courteous and helpful, the dining experience was underwhelming with limited menu options and repetitive meals. Additionally, the amenities appear to have aged, which is disappointing given the price point. It’s a pleasant stay overall, but there are definitely areas needing improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location offered stunning views of the valley and waterfall, the condition of the property felt quite dated, and the rooms could have been better maintained. The dining options were excellent, but the value for money wasn’t quite there considering the prices. Overall, I would suggest visiting during off-peak times for better rates.

The Dukes Retreat Resort offers a beautiful hillside view and spacious rooms, but my experience was marred by cleanliness issues and poor service responsiveness.
