Spicers Tamarind Retreat

Great hot tub. Beautiful grounds and restaurant.

Spicers Tamarind is the perfect retreat to get away from it all! The Orchard Villa was lovely and luxurious, the beds were so comfortable, the temperature was perfect, and our puppy was welcomed. The Tamarind had great breakfast options, even for those with dietary requirements, and room service was available. The grounds and trees were huge, well maintained and green. More than anything else though, our stay was quiet and relaxing, exactly what we were looking for.

Had the most amazing stay at Spicers Tamarind, so serene and peaceful. The food was to die for and the staff were so kind and helpful. Definitely recommend having the banquet! The hot tub was amazing on our own little deck surrounded by the trees. 10/10

Well we could only afford to have morning coffee outside the restaurant but it was a very enjoyable experience. It would be a lovely place to stay in the lush rainforest with beautiful grounds that include a sculpture garden. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It would be a lovely place to stay.

Where to begin - the surroundings are exquisite, green lush gardens, villas dispersed in a way that maximises views of the landscape - everything about this place just makes your heart sing from the friendly staff, the wholesome food which left you feeling decadent spoilt with every morsel, the waterfall at the bottom is just a bonus to the lovely gardens. I didn't get to use the pool as I spent my time in the hot tub which was just what I needed, then washed with the luxurious leif body products, it was too warm to use the wood burner in my room though could smell others had enjoyed it before me. And at the end of the day, the bed was so comfortable that I just knocked out. All of this doesn't come cheap of ofcourse but can well understand the price.

At $ 800 per night, this has to be a special treat. And, I'm happy to report, it is. Spicers have got the concepts of luxury, relaxation and pampering down to a fine art. No detail is overlooked and it all happens in a non-pompous, casual manner. We stayed in Luxury Forest Villa #13, which is the furthest from reception and restaurant ; total peace and quiet, but still an easy stroll for a meal. It is a small house, with everything that you could possibly need, and of the best quality. The bed is divinely comfortable, the bath with amenities opulent. Late afternoon we were invited for some complimentary dumplings in the restaurant : 2 per person and you buy your own drinks. The grounds are well maintained, but have kept their-foresty look ; there is a 15 minute walk to "the falls", a small natural pool with waterfall (which was hardly running because of the lack of rain). You can choose to have your breakfast in the room or in the restaurant, and we decided for the latter. There is a complimentary continental (banana bread, small yoghurt and fruit) and you choose 1 main. Although delicious, I thought it was a fairly small offering and I could have done with a little more. Spicers is the perfect place to forget about problems and stress ; unwind and re-load the batteries. A very special treat.
