"We were greeted by the property owner carrying an umbrella to our car because of a torrential downpour. He walked us to the room, showed us how to work all the amenities, and then took us to the community kitchen to show us around there. The owner/manager is very friendly and helpful and made us feel completely at ease. His efforts felt super helpful after a long night and nearly full day of travel. 10/10 would easily stay again. "

"This is a very good hotel with excellent and attentive staff. However, the overall management shows a lack of knowledge in basic hospitality standards. For example, there is moss in the pool, overly soft mattresses that become very uncomfortable, and staff members like the security guard and gardener are tasked with repairs. The lowest point is the food. Most dishes have an unpleasant taste of rancid oil, and the fruit is of poor quality. This is a crucial moment for the hotel to address these...
