"It is a ‘70 ‘80 hotel, old-fashioned in every aspect from food offering to service. Disappointing"

The beautiful location and the spacious room

The food is mediocre, air-conditioning was malfunctioning and did not get fixed during our 4 night stay, overall the hotel is old fashioned and not kept up to date. At these rates and with a 5 star level we expected much more from this hotel

Loved the yoga and food and massage. I did several activities and it's a great place. Went swimming and was really looked after. I loved it even though I was out of my comfort zone with no windows.

Take mosquito repellent and also ask for a mosquito coil during dinner as that is when they got me. The staff are great
