The host was very kind and as we came here on 2 special occasions (honeymoon and birthday), we even got upgraded to a beautiful big room. The room facilities were clean, comfortable and just top level. We were asked to fill in a short survey to make the breakfast fit us best, which we really loved! The room also had a balcony oveviewing the lagoon, and breakfast was superb. Would come back any time, great value for money!

    Wow, what a place. The interior design is fantastic, and it backs onto a beautiful lake, where you can enjoy excellent food and drinks and watch the sun set in peace. Truly a special place and we wished we could have stayed far longer than our one night! There are great little boutique shops around also, and two delicious breakfast options accessible if you pay for breakfast.
