helpful staffclear signsbeautiful decor

The staff could be contacted via whatsapp. This was helpful. taxis cannot drive directly to the entrance, instead a 5-minute walk is necessary, i noticed many signs to guide you! the decor of this place is very beautiful. i used the robes provided.

breakfast seemed basic, not matching the price i paid.
