It is a beautiful, clean, modern boutique hotel. The staff was amazingly kind and the owner was very attentive to make sure everything was in order. The internet signal is not very good, so if you're counting on working during your holidays, I would take that into account. There is internet, it's just somewhat unstable. I loved the hotel, I wish I had had more time to enjoy, since I was there for only two nights.

The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. There are many trees on site which really increase the value of staying here (mango, avocado, star fruit!). The groundskeeper was very kind and picked us some fruit to try. It’s such a nice setting, and such a stark contrast from the nearby city. The property has two little streams on either side lined with shade trees and there was a lot of bird activity around. There is some construction going on and it seems that some new rooms are being built - and the workers start early to avoid the heat of the day, FYI. Overall very good, and we will stay there again

It’s a little Oasis. The host met our car when we drove in, showed us around and secured a taxi ride for the next day. The grounds are amazing.

Nice little hotel with restaurant and pool

Very nice small place to stay for a night or two, nice room and comfy bed, good restaurant on site, beautiful gardens, very friendly owner and staff, made me feel very welcome. Only downside was a big mouldy stain on the ceiling of my room. Also I expected more quiet area, you can hear nearby traffic and planes landing, but overall very recommended.
