Reviews and Ratings <br />
I had mixed feelings about my stay. The grounds were beautiful, and the pool was clean, which made for a relaxing atmosphere. However, the rooms felt cramped and uncomfortable, especially with the subpar beds. The service was somewhat hit-or-miss, as some staff were helpful while others seemed uninterested. Overall, it's a decent spot, but I would consider looking elsewhere next time.
I had a mixed experience during my stay. While the tent I stayed in was secure and had some nice amenities like outlets and a safe, the overall atmosphere felt a bit lacking. The location was great for meeting people and close to activities, but some facilities were quite basic. The dining options were cheap and tasty, though they didn't offer a free breakfast, which I missed.
I had a beautiful stay at this hostel, which is conveniently located near attractions, but a disappointing theft incident significantly affected my overall experience. While I appreciated the peaceful environment, it was hard to enjoy my time, especially after my expensive hiking shoes were stolen. The rooms were decent, but the lack of surveillance security overshadowed the positives.
I stayed at a resort that had a nice pool area and a fun experience with their unique cylinder rooms, though it did feel a bit cramped at times. The location was great for exploring nearby restaurants, but the service was hit or miss; some staff were helpful, while others seemed disinterested. The dining was decent, especially the breakfast, but the overall value could have been better given certain facility issues.
I had mixed feelings about my stay at this hostel. The location was decent, a bit of a 10-minute walk to town, but some facilities were lackluster and dated. The staff seemed indifferent, which was disappointing, but I found the pool area quite nice. For the price, I expected more attention to detail and better amenities.
