“The staff was friendly and helped us with our bags up the 2nd floor. The entire hotel is new so there are still renovations ongoing. The area is literally beside a jungle/park so sometimes, elephants are seen to be roaming around.”

“The rooms are completely renovated. The dinner was absolutely delicious - we don't regret one bit for not going out for dinner to the city for our 1 night stay. Looks like they plan to do even more renovations outside. Surely recommended!”
