Hotel is in a great location, but if you are a light sleeper you may want to ask them to not but you to a neighboring guest. Since walls are super thin. We had nobody next to us the first night and it was great! But second night a lady was talking on her phone all night and we could not sleep. But on the positive side their night walk tour at the property is totally great! We saw a lot of cool night animals and insects and their staff at the restaurants were really friendly and kind. You should try their Brownie with ice cream at their restaurant.

Lovely hotel with really nice staff. The location was walkable to different restaurants and activities. The property is really hilly but the shuttle was fantastic and very convenient to get around. We really liked the pool and enjoyed the balcony on our room - both were great for spotting wildlife and enjoying the breeze.
