charming stay with lovely views

free shuttle rooftop terrace spacious room breakfast options
this boutique hotel provided a complimentary tuk-tuk service to jungle beach (a convenient perk). the rooftop terrace offered lovely views. the room i had was quite spacious, even with the sizable bed. i appreciated the breakfast options prepared to order. the dinner menu had enough variety.
The room was very close to the reception area, and the door was not very soundproof. I could hear some noise.
