Good Dining Experience

I thoroughly enjoyed the food at the on-site restaurant. The menu offered a great variety of dishes, and each meal was well-prepared and reasonably priced. I particularly loved their breakfast options and the quality of the mango served every morning was really good.

Relaxing by the Pool

The swimming pool was a great place to unwind after my tours. It provided a refreshing escape and was always well-kept. The cabana area offered a cozy spot to relax with a good book or simply enjoy the atmosphere.

Perfect for Relaxation

While the cable TV options were somewhat limited, I found the peaceful atmosphere perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Sitting on the balcony with a book, surrounded by friendly guests, made for a lovely community vibe.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, mostly thanks to the friendly and warm owners who made us feel right at home. The location was peaceful yet close to the city center, which was a big plus. However, while the rooms were decent and could accommodate three people comfortably, they felt a bit outdated. Overall, it was a good value for money, but there's definitely room for improvement.
