Superb!

A really tranquil, cosy, stunning property that makes you feel like you’re in the complete wilderness. So peaceful and the bed is probably the nicest one I’ve ever slept on. Highly recommend this beautiful property to stay at. I’ll be back again - thanks!

Nice unit, friendly staff, just rather noisy

Very short stay. Friendly staff and all was fine with the suite- just rather noisy with dogs, roosters and highway noise. Take ear plugs and you should be ok!

Disliked: Room comfort

Dissapointment

The grounds are very clean and Meritza is friendly but the room I was in (room 9) the bed was so uncomfortable I could not even fall asleep because each movement I made was accompanied by the squeaky noise of the bed I was really not happy. The bathroom had that damp smell. To top it up for breakfast you have to travel to another place that's an inconvenience especially if you have to go to work. Overall I am dissappointed.

Lovely new years stay in pmb with family

My stay was great, our hosts were outstanding, they even upgraded us at no additional charge and offered to assist us to find a new years bash party. I will only recommend an aircon.in the rooms for those terribly hot days. The pool must also be clean at all times for guests.
