The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The wall-mounted AC unit got the room cool within a few minutes. The beds are equipped with a surrounding mosquito net, though we didn’t really have any issues with bugs in our rooms or on the grounds (early June). There is a large outdoor patio dining/bar area which was very welcoming for dining and drinks. Our dinner was well-prepared and tasty, though I would have liked to see some more items that explored the local cuisine. Breakfast was buffet-style, with a nice selection of fruits, pastries, hot items, and an omelette station. The highlight of the stay was the staff who were universally friendly, conscientious, and helpful.
