Für 3 Sterne alles bestens!

good place
Pros:

Good location, walking distance to lake, nice rooms with mosquito nets, gym, swimming pool, some of the staff very friendly, some medium. Generator works well in case of power cuts, internet is also good.

Cons:

Prices for food and drinks have increased largely, and there is a service charge now when ordering for example a cappuccino to the room. Please re-consider.

Pros:

I love everything in terms of quietness, but the place and cleanliness

Cons:

The breakfast I can say it’s just good to make you just move the day, nothing exciting, also the rooms have got no tea, no coffee I think it’s part they need to improve,
