A chilled out environment… Comfortable stay and awesome food… The rooms were clean.. you literally have to make yourself at home as there is no room service… so you are responsible to maintain the place clean and tidy. The best thing about the place is that they don’t over sell it and give any wrong expectation. Very honest to state... More
