Beautiful room, friendly and helpful staff. The room has a beautiful plunge pool, air con, app based TV and coffee making facilities; no tea. The main pool is small but lovely; no onsite bar or restaurant. Breakfast; a short walk away in a neighbouring ecolodge is fresh and tasty but limited in choice. We w Oils stay again.

Great location. Beautiful tropical gardens and view to the mountains. Quite, yet only 15 min walk to a small settlement with restaurants (on a pavement). There is a corner shop 150m away and a lovely little soda/restaurant less then 200m away.
