The most important thing to know is that there is NO DOOR ON THE TOILET in the bungalows. Nothing to provide any privacy between the loo and the bed. There is also no privacy curtain in the property so your options are to either have the black out curtain drawn or have everyone walking past looking straight into your bedroom so no way to appreciate the view. This didn’t deliver what I would expect from a 4-star hotel- the only toiletries provided were two tiny tablets of hand soap, no shampoo, shower gel, etc. The air conditioning in our unit didn’t seem to work, and there were lots of cobwebs. The location is great but I would book elsewhere in future.

Stayed in the AO Bungalows. Very quiet and private. Great views. Bungalow was beautifully designed. Everything available for a great weekend away. Great pool. Bar/restaurant on site but never noisy.

Management needs changing. Rude beyond and very unhelpful. Four night stay. Three very unsatisfactory. Housekeeping basically non existent. Filthy decks and chairs and tables. No service for $400 a night at all. Having been five times I’ll now use my money elsewhere. Caves used to be great when management managed the issues which have unfortunately never changed. With a princess as a manager there’s no hope. Go elsewhere. Trust me !!!

Firstly they cancelled my booking a week prior to my stay and their excuse was that i didnt pay depsoit but booking through expedia was not mentioned any where about paying depsoit just pay full on day of check in, however paid depsoit as they requested as the rude lady on the phone had stated that she would not honour my booking till depsoit been made and bluntly had told me first in best dressed Secondly my partner had went to check in and to pay final balance and once again a very rude lady at reception had tried to tell my partner that nothing had been paid despite myself paying a $700 deposit which was not allocated to my booking. Thirdly, they wouldnt give my partner the room key as his name wasnt on the booking as it was in my name which was understandable. But when i had went there about an hour later collect room key i was told balance needed to be paid before they would give me the key depsite my partner already paying this. Fourth, toom sheeting had stains, blinds were so worn there were pin holed all the eay through, shower was disgusting with mould on grout in tiles. For the price i had paid i would not recommend espically their rude incompetent staff.
