    Nice hotel. Lovely pool. Room is big enough, everything is clean, great view from the balcony and comfy beds. Just make sure that you have a room at the back of the hotel ;)

    Awesome stay! Restaurant was delicious and reasonable price. Saw loads of wildlife in the garden. The staff were able to arrange loads of activities as well which was great. The whole place was gorgeous and so well kept.

    Central location & yet you're in a jungle lodge. Friendly staff. Onsite restaurant is very good and probably the best in town.
