Jungle Ambiance and Convenient Location
lovely groundsbreakfast selectionclean toilets
The grounds are gorgeous. I enjoyed walking around. The pool was a welcome amenity after a day of exploring. The breakfast buffet offered a wide selection of asian and western options, a great start to each day. Showers and toilets were very clean which I found particularly admirable.
The location is a bit far from the city center which I found inconvenient. A shorter walk would have been welcome.
