At first, find our house was confused, I was very impressed with the house after found the place. There was no grill gas for barbecue, so eating outside was a bit little tricky.. But everything was very impressed and had a good time.

Curry Village
Easy to check in. The heated room was exceptional. Bathrooms could be cleaner but I understand with the amount of people coming in and out it’s hard. Shuttle stop conveniently a small walk away. We stay here every year and we’ll continue to do so.
