Staff were friendly. Information in the room on resort and room etc would be helpful. The kitchen needs to be upgraded along with other outside areas. Nets were too small for bed. A great relaxing spot in the middle of a busy city. Breakfast was included and was good. We will go back again.

Nice resort for temporary stay. Power isn't reliable and WiFi seldom works for note book computers. Also, the resort charges for everything, including water.

The first thing that happened was that they couldn’t find our booking. It took a long time, and the person at the reception seemed very incompetent. A few days later, we had a problem with rats in the room. It took us an hour to get the same receptionist to believe what we were saying, even though a cleaner came up to the room with us and saw the rat. That night we were given a different room, which was disgusting – very worn-down and dirty. The next day, we were moved again – another downgrade. A tiny room for the two of us, even though we were supposed to stay there for another whole week. We also had daily problems with lizard droppings in the room – it was everywhere. There was also poor hot water in the new room; every other day we had to take ice-cold showers. Worms were falling from the ceiling into the bed. We had to keep our suitcase shut at all times to avoid animals getting in. The Wi-Fi was okay. The pool was constantly full of kids splashing around, and you’d get water all over you, even though the staff told them off. The food at the hotel was good – very large portions, easy to share between two people. Overall, the hotel is in serious need of renovation.

The grounds are lovely, a true forest in the city. Over the years my travel companion and I have had three different types of accomodations, a small budget room, a two bedroom suite, and a cottage. They all had advantages and disadvantages, but we agree that the cottage we recently stayed in for four nights was our favorite. It had two patios, two en-suite bedrooms, a living/kitchen/dining room and was surrounded by lush greenery. If steps are a problem, maybe not suitable. The food here is varied and good and the chef accommodating. The included breakfast buffet is really good. We wanted to have a dinner for 18, and the event planner helped us plan a great buffet in the garden. Downside for people with any physical problem is steps. Lots of steps.

The hotel was ok out side our room but our twin bed room was very small. You goi k x not have swung a cat around in it. No where for luggage. Fortunately we were not staying the whole night. The bathroom was very different climbing some steps to get into the shower. The bar and restraunt area was very pleasant and there was a lively pool on a lower level. The food we ate wax very nice. We may have just been allocated a bad room.

The location is beautiful surrounded by green and trees in the middle of a busy city. The staff are wonderful, very friendly and helpful. The big problem is that they drilled holes in every wall of your room against the dampness and hulidity. This means that you hear everything from the oustide and you can easily follow the conversation of you nextdoor neighbours. I don't mean muffled sounds, you can actually follow it word by word. Bring earplugs or take a sleeping pill if you want to get any sleep at all. We were there as a satrtingpoint for our trip with G Adventures
