"It does have potential, but poorly maintained. The owner was away when we visited, and he didnā€™t tell the manager that we would be there, so when we got there, the rooms were not ready, the manager wasnā€™t there, either. Several big trees in the garden are sick, turned blackish brown, and they need to be taken care of. Garden and lounging areas need more cleaning and maintenance. When we tried to pay for our food, we realized that they charged us 6$ for three bottles of mineral water they had put...

The restaurant has a great menu and excellent quality food. The service is great. You can walk here from the airport (maybe 7 minutes). They arranged all our tours for us, and at good prices.
