The food at the restaurant was delicious!! The staff was accommodating and were willing to help with some issues we had with the room. 👍

The staff had to move us to 3 different rooms because on the 1st one the a/c went out and 2nd room had a lot of mosquitoes in it.

this placed is super nice. I did not visit their restaurant but I heard nothing but good things about this place. I would definitely stay here again,.

The bed was not as comfortable as other places but it wasn't too bad either,.

I love that it’s on the river front. So you have access to pool or river swim. Easy access to boat and other on water services.

The rooms did not have a fridge to store cold water in or a coffee machine.

The staff, the service and food was great!

A little more effort could be put towards cleaning the pools.

Location, views and pools. Rooms were spacious

The decor was tired. Footpaths chipped, broken and dirty. We were asked to pay cash for meals and could not put anything on a room bill. Lots of rules for the room. No eating, no drinking in your room. This is very a very expensive place and would have liked to be treated like a valued guests.

The grounds are nice, I saw a giant iguana and there are loads of agoutis (looks like a cat sized kangaroo squirrel with no tail) that eat from your hand in the restaurant. You can kayak for free, pool was empty a lot (possibly because the weather wasn't good). Very picturesque, looks better in photos than real life though

The room was awful. There wasn't any creatures (I have a big phobia) but it's the kind of room where you expect to see them. Room was dirty even after being cleaned. Aircon was super loud even with earplugs. No coffee making in room. Hotel doesn't speak any English (doesn't claim to). There's nothing to do in the area except the castle that takes all of 5 minutes
