Struttura perfetta per una notte pre Safari.
Pros:

Struttura molto accogliente e con piscina vista risaie. La mattina ci hanno preparato una colazione take away per partire presto per il Safari. Abbiamo avuto un problema per la troppa acqua calda in doccia ma sono stati subito disponibili nel risolvercelo.

Cons:

Essendo una struttura all’interno di risaie, fuori dalle stanze c’erano inevitabilmente tante zanzare.

la seule critique à émettre : le petit dejeuner qui nous a ete fourni pour partir en safari etait cher pour ce qu il comportait.

Pros:

It is a lovely location with lots of greenery around. We did not use the pool. We hired our safari through them and the process was easy and the service punctual. Make sure you bring cash because they dont take card. Staff made sure we made our morning safari. Good place for a short stay, at a very affordable price.

Pros:

Loved this place! One of the best value for money places we found in our three week trip. The staff couldn’t have done more for us, organising tours and dishing up food in all the different parts of the hotel we ended up moving around. We liked the pool table, bean bags and pool. The rooms were lovely with high ceilings, air con and fans.

Pros:

Mooi aangelegd, middenin de rijstvelden. Nieuwe accommodatie en ziet er vrij luxe uit. Vriendelijke medewerkers. Fijne, gemeenschappelijke zitgedeelten met uitzicht!

Cons:

Ze zijn nog aan het bouwen, waardoor je wat geluidsoverlast ervaart. Het zwembad ziet er prachtig uit maar nodigt niet echt uit omdat er maar een stoel bij staat. Kamers waren vrij donker. Ontbijt was nog niet beschikbaar. Geen klamboe. En we troffen een gigantische spin aan in de badkamer.
