"We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of this hotel. We had a very comfortable room, King bed was great, and we had a small seating area in our suite, which was nice. The bathroom was adequate, not luxury but definitely as expected. The view was fantastic out the window!"
"We were at the hotel for just a short time, as we arrived in the evening and out early in the morning for our tour. A bit unfortunate as this was a very nice hotel. They provide welcome cookies, which is a nice touch. Breakfast is also available very early to accommodate those early morning departures! The hotel is a short walk from the train station, so very convenient. They also stored our luggage until our afternoon departure."
"The room was very cold and not prepared for guests.
Phone doesn’t work, I might go to reception every time and it was a lot because no hair dryer, no shampoo, no heater.
And OMG it was sooo noisy in room at night!!"
"Excellent property immersed in nature with great free activity like the orchid trail tour, the tea experience and more. The staff were very cordial and proud of their culture and natural beauty of their territory. I highly recommend this property to other travelers. Breakfast and dinner were offered and the choices were excellent."
