The guest house is close to the airport. I found the location convenient. my room was super clean, and the toiletries provided were a super nice touch. the pool and lounge area created a relaxing atmosphere. the breakfast was honestly one of the tastiest i've had. it included a french toast!
the minimal choice of food available at lunchtime felt very amateurish. the food was prepared by someone who likely wasn't a chef.
