I got a good last minute deal on the hotel. I initially booked a suite, which worked out about 8 GBP more than the price for a cottage in the gardens. However, on checking in, I found that the suite was very dark and in the rather functional main hotel building. I asked to move to a cottage in the gardens, and much preferred this. They were in the tropical gardens and had a verandah. They had high ceilings with a skylight and were comfortable and decorated in attractive colours. The bathroom could have done with some renovation, also some of the general upkeep with regard to decoration. There were no bathrobes or slippers, as advertised. I slept really well, there was no traffic noise. The rooms have tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge. There is a safe like box in the wardrobe, but it is portable and is opened by the key, with the room key, so I did not use it. The hotel is a drive away from the city centre, but there is a free hotel shuttle bus every two hours or so. The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful, but communication was sometimes a problem, due to limited English. The breakfast was included, but was not fantastic, it is served buffet style. The pool area is also pleasant and the pool was warm. I would recommend lots of DEET in the evening, because of the gardens and open plan nature of the restaurant. There is a tour desk and the gentleman on it was helpful and spoke good English.
