Stunning location- would stay in that area again. Hotel staf v helpful and friendly and room perfectly decent and extremely quiet considering the local life, but no daylight in the rooms we had. We also had to request a different room as the one given was much smaller, with an uncomfortable sofa bed for my son rather than a second bed as photos showed. We were moved without drama after one night when a room became available

What's the story? Better than Oasis.

I wasconcerned that an hotel parading its values uses Nestle coffee, when Nestle has a long history of contributing to infant deaths in Africa by encouraging new mothers to abandon breast feeding and use formula, which needs water. The water is often contaminated so the children get dysentery and die.
