The room had a shower room attached to it. The room was decorated nicely. Breakfast was good.
The staff was to forget about me. I had to find them to order after waiting quite a while. I also had to find them to order desserts (even after asking one of the staff).

Excellent Wedding Reception Venue

delicious food clean room comfortable room
Xin and her staff excelled in making my daughter's wedding reception excellent. We had 18 guests, most of whom stayed in the accommodation. Rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. We used the restaurant, beautifully set up for the meal. The food tasted delicious and the staff allowed ample time between courses for the speeches.
The phone signal is awful and I was walking around the village trying to get service to speak to someone to find our room.
