Pros:

Sitio muy agradable y la cabaña era muy bonita y detalles bien cuidados. La carta del restaurante era amplia y la comida estaba buena. Personal muy atento a cualquier cosa. Si vas solo una noche para hacer el safari o varias a descansar sin intención de salir mucho del recinto está muy bien, sino quizás buscaría un sitio más cercano a restaurantes.

Cons:

Había una familia muy grande ocupando varias cabañas con varios niños que no paraban de chillar, llorar y hacer mucho ruido. Entiendo que un niño no va a estar callado todo el rato pero estuvimos oyendo gritos desde que llegamos al mediodía hasta casi la hora de dormir sin poder disfrutar de la paz y tranquilidad del sitio. Luego cenando en el restaurante paso lo mismo. Los padres en ningún momento hicieron nada al respecto para que se comportaran y hubiera esperado que el personal del hotel les diera un toque de atención y no lo hicieron.

Pros:

Lovely location in nature. Nice breakfast and dinner. Very helpful and welcoming staff.

Cons:

The shower and toilets are private but located outside the room under the sky. There were bugs everywhere so take this into consideration.
