Room was great - we had a junior suite with balcony which overlooked the forrest and the pool. No cushions on sunbeds on balcony but we managed. Great food and lovely staff. Not much to do in local area but would use hotel again as a 1 night stop over to somewhere else.

A little outdated but ultimately large rooms and spacious hotel. All day food options and good breakfast variety. The pool is a great feature with jungle behind. Staff helped with taxi’s and luggage storage. Only upgrade would be better sun loungers - many lacked pads and were broken / dirty. Wood rotten on the loungers. And a tv with some internet capability.
