My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, despite being plain and lacking a view, were spotless, reminding me of a youth hostel vibe. The service was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making up for any shortcomings in the facilities. The location was ideal for exploring nearby villages, but it fell short on the promised wildlife sightings. The dining experience was enjoyable with a good variety of choices. Despite some flaws, the hotel provided a comfortable and pleasant stay overall.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were like a lovely suite, modern, and well-appointed with nice touches, although the water flow from the taps was slow. The service provided by Anne and her team was unbelievable, making our stay memorable and cozy. The location offered great views and easy access around the area, despite some issues with decor and staff availability. The dining experience was delicious with plenty of choices, and the facilities were excellent overall.
