Where do I start. It’s dirty (room and sheets), unloved, pool is minging. We are certain someone went through our bags while we were out. Do yourself a favour and don’t stay here.

Reviewed Feb 27, 2025The location was good, last hotel on the road overlooking the river and jungle. Our kids enjoyed the pool for hours, what was nice. Also next morning we went for safari (around 6.30am), so they packed our breakfast for takeaway which was very kind. After safari when we came back (around 10am), they allowed us to use the pool and have a late check out. Owners where nice people also.
Food was 5/10, quite expensive & took around 40 min to make.. better go some other place for that. Bathroom was a bit dirty, but shower was nice, had hot water and good pressure :) wifi also worked good.

Reviewed Dec 7, 2024The breakfast was quite satisfying, with a variety of options to suit different tastes. The selection included fresh fruit, pastries, hot dishes, and a good variety of beverages. The food was well-prepared, though I would have appreciated more options for those with dietary restrictions.The location of the hotel was absolutely excellent. Nestled in a beautiful area, it offered a perfect balance of nature and convenience. Surrounded by lush greenery, it provided a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere where I could truly feel connected to nature. The freedom to explore nearby parks and scenic spots added a refreshing touch to my stay. The overall vibe of the area was vibrant yet calm, with a perfect mix of local charm and modern amenities. Whether you're looking to unwind or explore, this location is ideal for experiencing both nature and the local culture.
Everything was perfect! I’m truly happy with my stay. Excellent location, great vibes, and I fully enjoyed the journey. Highly recommend! 😁🍀🏕️
