- "Friendly staff" - "Overall property and cabin very good. " - "Perfect to stay Great location Friendly staff Esay check in" - "Amazing place Staffs wonderful " - "The woman working the front desk was SO friendly! There was a small shop in the reception area for guests to purchase snacks and goods. Our room was very clean and the air conditioning worked great! The coffee and tea station in the room was very nice as well. The only thing I have to say is that there are some glass slits at the front of the room for guests to open and close like windows. It was very easy to hear other guests and people walking by because of that. But our neighbors were relatively quiet, so absolutely no complaints!! Just know, the bungalows don’t have bathrooms. You’ll be using a shared shower and toilet with other guests (separated by gender). "
