Miinukset: Bed was far too soft for me

Plussat: Comfortable

Miinukset: Water switched off, so had to use bottlled water to brush my teeth.

Plussat: The rooms very clean

Miinukset: Repairs to a hot water cylinder meant no water from 8-11:30am. Bedside lamp not working, tv not working, heater not working. Disappointing when you pay for a service

Plussat: It felt like we were camping (close to nature) but with luxuries.. toilet, kitchen, TV room (all shared).

Miinukset: No negatives that we noticed.

Plussat: The room was more than expected for the price. The staff/management where very friendly and helpful. The setting is very tranquil.

Plussat: Friendly reception on arrival, helpful when asked

Miinukset: We stayed 2 nights, there was no servicing of the room, very dark interior with bamboo blinds which did not give privacy at night time. Chipped cups, only place to wash dishes was in the bathroom sink. Place looks like it is used more as a back packers now. The name resort does not come close to what is presented. Very disappointed.

I forgot my earplugs and am a light sleeper and he had a spare set he gave me.

Plussat: I liked the locality and the pleasant view from the room.

Miinukset: The walls were too thin and on the Friday night I could hear what was being said in the adjacent suite when people were talking normally and when they were walking to the bathroom. It kept waking me up. On the Sat night there was only one person staying in the suite adjacent.
