I had an incredible experience at this resort nestled in the mountains. The breathtaking views and unique atmosphere left a lasting impression on me. While the service had its ups and downs, the peaceful surroundings and the stunning infinity pool made my stay special. However, the limited dining options and some hiccups with room service took away from the overall experience.

Though Bob Marley's room had some charm and mystique, I found it a bit small and in need of some touch-ups. The balcony view was nice, but the space felt slightly scruffy.

The service was friendly and professional, but there were moments when it felt unenthusiastic, especially during meal times. Everyone was open to conversation, which was nice, but the attentiveness could have improved.

The meals I had were delicious, but I wish there had been more variety in the options. The breakfast felt a bit lackluster, more like a continental spread than a hearty start to the day.

Strawberry Hill is a breathtaking retreat high in the Blue Mountains, offering stunning views and a serene atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed, but service can be slow and inconsistent, particularly at meal times.

Strawberry Hill is a lovely retreat high in the Blue Mountains with stunning views and charming cottages. The service is excellent, making your stay special, but I did experience some noisy disturbances from the local wildlife during the night. The dining experience is delightful, especially the brunch, but be prepared that breakfast wasn't well communicated during my stay. Overall, it's a unique getaway for adventure lovers, but some areas could use improvements.
