Reviews & Customer Feedback

Jul 22, 2017 : When you eat from the card it takes a long time to prepare.
Jan 24, 2017 : The location of this hotel is fantastic with wonderful views, even spotting elephants across the lake and the pool was particularly lovely. When outdoors it is important to protect refreshments and belongings from the very cheeky monkeys!
Feb 16, 2016 : Not a nice atmosphere.
