“The location certainly features a fantastic pool and restaurant, while cottage rooms offer comfort and cleanliness with good air-conditioning; however, reports of ant infestations and inconsistent service raise concerns. In my opinion, the owners need to give more focus to hospitality training. This property has potential, but reliability appears variable.”
