A little outdated but ultimately large rooms and spacious hotel. All day food options and good breakfast variety. The pool is a great feature with jungle behind. Staff helped with taxi’s and luggage storage. Only upgrade would be better sun loungers - many lacked pads and were broken / dirty. Wood rotten on the loungers. And a tv with some internet capability.
