The room was clean and comfortable, the aircon was great. The kitchen actually had what we needed to cook and the staff were lovely. There was also a great sitting area on the top balcony which was perfect to eat, relax, work or even have a nap in a hammock.

Bed sliep prima

er waren geen gordijnen en het bovenste bed was heel hoog bij het plafond. Toen ik aankwam vertelden de werknemers dat de schoonmaaker de dag erna zou komen.

De badkamer was erg vies en de keuken ook.
