Excellent getaway place
Pros:

The property is excellent only the road is a problem. I was frustrated with driving but happy with the stay from the welcoming until I left.

I will definitely come again for relaxation and with family and friends.

Could be happier
Pros:

Excellent but terrible roads to get there that damages one’s car and you can only travel at 10 km /hr or less - very draining and tiring . Prevents you from leaving the place to dine out .

Nice hotel
Pros:

Great service, great hotel. Food needs more work. Road that goes to the hotel has so many potholes and it's long. A gym and change in the menu will definately change how i feel about the place.

Overnight Stay
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful and well-kept and when you enter, the fragrance is very welcoming in the lobby. The staff are friendly, and the rooms are beautiful. White linen on a King-Sized bed makes you want to hop in as soon as you walk in, but not before having a swim in the tub. The accommodation was great and left nothing to complain about.
Unfortunately, while the menu gives more options than you could hope to see, the portion I was given was small for the price you pay. I ordered an extra side and still left the table thinking that I could eat more and I am a petite lady. The food was tasty.

The best
Pros:

Thank you to your staff especially Linda who made sure I was warm when the aircon in my room didn't function. Food was great even though we did not have to chose what to eat because we were booked as a group. I'll definitely come back with the family
