The rooms are small but quite nice if a bit rustic, but the food is very average and it’s not great value for money. First the good - the rooms are bright and airy and have a nice beach vibe, although it’s all quite old and feels a little run down. The property is very jungly so you really feel like you’re staying in the rainforest. The reception staff are also very nice and helpful. Cleaning staff were also lovely. Pool is also nice and because there are not lots of rooms it’s never busy despite the fact we were there for Christmas week and they were full. Then the bad - when the sun doesn’t shine, there’s no hot water! Apparently it’s provided by solar panels on the roof of each cottage so no sun = no hot water. The restaurant is also pretty poor. Breakfast was included but there’s no buffet and you only get filter coffee, a glass of orange juice, and one dish which is a rather stingy portion. As an example we ended up having an argument with them because an order of French toast was literally just one piece of toast. For an adult with no buffet to fill up on that seems very mean. They did say they could do another piece for an extra $5 but when you’re paying over $500/night for a room that just seems a silly and trivial thing to argue about with your guests. The service in the restaurant was also absolutely hopeless. Every single day they would forget at least one persons order, or get it wrong, or it would just take ages. We stayed there for a full week and by the end we were tearing our hair out with frustration. I started wondering if our server was actually stoned as she moved so slowly. The restaurant really needs a new manager and the staff a big kick in the ass. Overall my summary is that this is a nice property which could be soooo much better with some small improvements and some better restaurant staff.
