Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Beautiful hotel with lots of outside space
The hotel covers a large area with individual chalets with their own outside seating area, and a large bar and restaurant area around the pool. Most of the staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Facilities are in need of some maintenance and TLC. Reception did not have record of our Expedia reservation. Wi-Fi coverage on the property is challenging.
