Sim Forest Resort is a quaint little spot on the north central part of the island. Its a bit far away from the major attractions, but it makes up for that with its proximity to nature. Expect to wake up every morning to the sounds of birds and the hush of palm leaves on your roof. They have bikes for rent as well and its a short bike to the closest town. The grounds are beautiful, and its located just down the street from a fresh produce stand and cute coffee shop (senda coffee). You will need to go there for coffee as the coffee served at Sim with breakfast is only about 1.5 oz and not very good. The breakfast otherwise was quite nice with several options and the little cafe where you eat is a beautiful and serene place. I am aware there was only 1 cleaning lady for the whole resort. But our door was left unlocked after cleaning several times even after we asked for her to make sure it was closed (with the help of google translate to ensure she understood). As well, when she cleans, she leaves the door to the villa wide open and all sorts of bugs fly in as well as gekos. The washroom smelled abhorrent and they tried to cover up the smell with an air freshener that was 4 years past expired. The shower has mould growing in the nooks and crannies. The kitchen also had mould growing near the sink and inside of the caulking. I didn't mind cleaning it to make it a more sterile cooking environment. Other than that, its a good price. The staff is friendly. Location is beautiful. The beds are comfortable. We stayed for two weeks and had a lovely time. I'm glad we stayed here!

Nice place with unique cabin. Maintenance need to improve though. Good place to chill and relax. Nice swimming pool. Breakfast is good.

The hotel is actually very pleasant, I really liked the way it was designed and made. The staff were very friendly and cooperative, which is something I liked as well. However, my only complaint is that I dealt with bed bugs in my room. It really wasn’t a great experience dealing with the harm these little things caused, their bites are no joke. They did end up cleaning my room and bed, but it definitely is something to take note of… make sure you check your bed thoroughly if you end up staying at this hotel.
