Excellent Lodging Experience
varied breakfast spacious room comfortable bed lovely staff
The breakfast included many choices and tasted excellent. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and they allowed us to check in slightly early to accommodate our baby. Our spacious room in the outside lodges included a comfortable bed. Shower gel and shampoo were also provided in the bathroom.
During dinner service, the waitresses seemed too rushed to attend to all the guests promptly.
