The hotel provided a really comfortable and spacious bungalow. I found a big balcony that was perfect. Half board was a good value. The facilities were clean, a characteristic I appreciate. The hotel prides itself on standards from staff so the cleaners clearly take pride in their job. I had a very relaxing week.
The air conditioning in the room was a little noisy. Though it still worked fine.

i was pleased with the gluten free food options at every meal. the chef called me and told me about the gluten free choices. he offered me a dessert made especially for me and gluten free bread daily.
the air conditioning in our room did not reach the beds. we had to move the beds to feel the air circulation. it was difficult to sleep in the humid conditions. the beer on offer was a local brand and not very good.
