Guests praise the beautiful location, natural surroundings and gardens that add to the serene atmosphere. The hotel is like a small community surrounded by trees, allowing guests to relax in peace. The beach and pool are at arm's reach and provide a beautiful spot for vacations. Tennis courts are also available for guests looking to add some physical activities to their itinerary. However, the hotel is a bit remote and guests need a vehicle to explore tourist attractions, which can be difficult to reach due to the curvy roads. Despite that, the main entrance is grand and like a palace, offering guests an excellent first impression. Finally, the rooms are a bit uphill and guests may have to walk long distances to reach the central dining area, but the location still remains a highlight of the hotel.

Rooms

While not all rooms live up to their online images, the bungalows provide a sense of independence and privacy. However, some furniture arrangements were poor, toiletries of low quality and some amenities lacked attention to detail.
