We had a great time! Everyone was very friendly, even with the language barrier (our fault, of course). The only complaint I have is the water pressure in our room’s bathroom/shower. It wasn’t really great, but a minor issue since the room was exactly as described/pictured. Thank you for having us!

Brenda, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

Overall the property was clean. The rooms had some faults like the draws not staying close and have to slam the room door to get it to close. Some rooms even have the AC system running thru it in a closet and it’s a very unpleasant sight so be aware. Overall breakfast was good but my dislike was even after requesting upon booking for a later checkout due to late flights and traveling with a small child I was given a run around by front desk for me to be denied on the day and having to figure things out for 5+ hrs
