My stay at Boutique Hotel Matlai was nothing short of magical. The personalized service was impeccable, the rooms were spacious with breathtaking views, and the dining experience was outstanding. The location offered a peaceful getaway, but it might not be ideal if you want to explore the northern part of the island. Overall, this hotel provided an amazing and memorable experience, perfect for relaxation and romance.
