Pool is dirty with algae and tree bark, also not operable unless they see guest using it. I believe this doesn’t save money because the cleanliness of the pool depends on motors running at all times. I was there for the Christmas break, they should’ve cleaned the pool throughly. The walls on the building need repair and paint, again sad sight to see during Christmas/new years break. No decor of the season. I know that’s not mandatory but people do go there for “the holidays” WiFi is basically non existent in the rooms and it’s important because of work and obviously no cellular services reaches because of the rural area, only (3G) at times. At least on the back end of the property. The doors are in decay and the locks make me think anyone can just bust through the entrance. Little to no furniture in the rooms more than a night stand so it sucks that we have to live out of a backpack 🎒 lounges (we are here for 4 days) No furniture in the shower so nowhere to store your hygiene supplies. Again living out of bags and backpacks although we were there 4 days is extremely inconvenient. The sole TV is in the living room and it’s 20” (table size) but mounted high on the wall. The only amazing this about this place is the Mini Split Air Conditioners, they made our sleep schedule like babies.

Good Stay

The stay was great, I had a blast with my family and the rooms were comfy, although I do have to point out that my Villa had an issue with one of the doors, the lock that should've kept one of the doors close was broken or something, thing is, it was open. Thankfully the villa had 2 bedrooms that coud be locked from the inside, but it is a downside.

Very nice but note that you have to cross a river to get there specially when it rains recomend to have a 4x4, it’s close to the town in car too far to go walking. and if you’re an early bird you won’t be able to drink coffee or anything before 8 Am which was an inconvenience for us since we were awake early. Also if you want to check out or leave before 7:30 AM you have to let them know ahead of time because there’s only the security guard and he’s not allowed to let anybody go before the receptionist gets there to make sure you don’t have any bills pending at the restaurant or any charges pending. The beds are very uncomfortable and sounds like it’s going to break but it’s affordable price the pool was clean and it’s not that deep perfect for kids
