Clean rooms with beautiful view of the pool and natural landscaping. Owners and staff are friendly and very helpful. The pool was clean and was a nice place to cool off after a day of traveling. We loved the natural landscaping which attracted birds and other local wildlife for viewing. This is a great place for a small group or family traveling together. Next time we'll plan ahead to stay here.

Love this gem of a hotel close to the airport
What a gem, very close to the airport (2 km), good value and genuinely attractive, with a colonial style, rooms have balconies and the garden is tropical and full of exotic plants and trees - one is 300 years old.

Great stay close to the airport.
A beautiful little oasis in a very busy area. It's amazing how quite and peaceful the property is while just up the driveway was a very busy road.
