Disappointing. Far to expensive and not worth it.
Pros:

The pool was nice, but it was really small.
We preferred to go to the beach.

Cons:

The room was not as expected. There was no wardrobe in the room as shown on the pictures. There was just a kind of metal base where we could put our clothes.
And the room was really really small.
Breakfast was very, very simple. The whole breakfast area was not clean, there where 2 persons in the kitchen. Nobody cleaned a table after guests had left.

3 Nächte für NP & Stand
Pros:

Die Zimmer im Parterre beim "Innenhof" waren sehr ruhig.
Kleine saubere Poolanlage mit Bar & Pizza.
Zweckmässiges, gutes aber eher kleines Frühstück.
Sehr gute Lage für den Besuch in den NP sowie zum Stand und einigen Restaurants (Buru).

What an amazing stay for us !
Pros:

The hotel was beautiful and felt very cozy since it’s a small. We were here for our wedding anniversary. The hotel gave us a free upgrade, our room was absolutely gorgeous. And they provided us a bottle of wine as well. We really enjoyed relaxing by the pool in the afternoons and watching the monkeys up in the trees. The location is unbeatable, only a few minutes walk to the entrance of the national park.

Cons:

The breakfast could be a little better.

Pros:

Die Anlage mit dem Pool und der Bar ist sehr schön. Die Lage direkt am Eingang zum NP ist top. Auch am Strand ist man in drei Minuten zu Fuß. Das Personal war super.

Cons:

Das Zimmer hätte für uns zu dritt etwas größer sein können. Zum Duschen hatten wir meist nur kaltes Wasser.
