Pros:

The location is about as close as you can get to the airport while also feeling like you are in the hills away from the city. It's really peaceful with beautiful natural surroundings, extremely nice and simple decor, and attentive hosts that go totally out of their way to make the stay amazing.

We were happy with the stay and specially breakfast on terrace.
Pros:

Breakfast on the terrace, welcoming stuff, comfortable beds, view of the jungle

Cons:

It is basic and do not expect brand new facilities. But it is really ok for couple of nights stay.

Peaceful, comfortable and enjoyable.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent. Family owned and both were very helpful with any small problems that we had [internet connections, ordering taxis, uber eats delivery] and good enough to allow guests to explore their wonderful garden. Mathieu picked us up from the airport and was knowledgeable about local restaurants, things to do and how to get there.

Cons:

The view from the rooms is not as per website as, inevitably, the tropical greenery has grown. Perhaps a small trim might improve the outlook and view, although it currently allows very close views of the local birdlife.

sehr gut
Pros:

Das Frühstück war gut und wurde aufs Zimmer serviert.
Der Garten ist sehr schön und das einzige, was ich vermisst habe, sind ein paar bequeme Liegestühle im Garten.
Die Lage, 10 Minuten vom Flugplatz, ist super. Ab und zu fliegt ein Flugzeug über das Grundstück aber im allgemeinen und vor allem Nachts ist es sehr ruhig.
