tasty foodgood portionextreme heatlate noise
The restaurant offered tasty food with good portion sizes. the yoga classes were a super nice addition. It really enhanced my stay.
The bungalows can get hot, especially the ones only with a fan. the noise from the common area went on until very late hours. It was hard to sleep.
The food was excellent I enjoyed every meal. The staff was attentive and very polite. I found the common area very pleasant.
I found some of the beds to be very firm. The bathroom was often unclean I also saw lots of mosquitos. There were no sociable events to bring people together making it difficult to socialize.
