I had an amazing stay at Okwin! The beautiful location by a waterfall and the well-maintained grounds added to the charm of this resort. The room was spacious, clean, and the jacuzzi bath was a delightful addition, making my stay even more enjoyable. However, there were some issues with the service during a prior visit that left me disappointed, particularly involving rude staff and a lack of cleanliness in the other room I saw. But overall, my experience was fantastic, and I would definitely return.

My stay at Okwin was remarkable, set in a stunning valley next to a river—truly the perfect spot for a getaway. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean, making it comfortable for my family. The staff provided exceptional service throughout our visit, going above and beyond to ensure everything was just right. However, my experience soured slightly when we encountered a misunderstanding regarding meal charges for our driver, which left us a bit disappointed. Overall, I'd highly recommend it for its beauty and service, but just be aware of potential miscommunications.
