The room was set up in a bizarre way with a large number of lights in the internal stair being permanently on throughout the night. I presume this was because of safety as the stair, while only 1 step, was 10m wide. This meant the room was lit up like a Xmas tree. It explains why eye masks were provided but here we are in the rainforest and the room is lit. Very annoying.

The bed was creaking all the time. The breakfast was a little disappointing. They don’t service your room until you stay three nights. Having to go to reception to ask for more linen and supplies.

This is the third time we have stayed here. Previous time was probably 5 years ago and we were very disappointed in our stay on this occasion. The fire place is no longer a fireplace and has very little heat coming out of it and there is a plastic remote to operate it. The airconditioning was set on timer so it the middle of night heating has gone off and its freezing in the room. The breakfast you receive is very basic. The furnishings had holes in them. For quite an expensive stay it wasnt worth it and we probably wont return. It used to be so well maintained.

Pethers was not a five star property more like a two star, no communication between staff, bathroom very dirty. Stands out they are trying to save money, breakfast was very poor, you get more breakfast at mcdonalds. Needs updating. Their are also no views as advertised. New owners need to look at the standards they could create a perfect oasis, instead of running it on a shoe string.
