Beautiful hotel with lots of outside space
The hotel covers a large area with individual chalets with their own outside seating area, and a large bar and restaurant area around the pool. Most of the staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Facilities are in need of some maintenance and TLC. Reception did not have record of our Expedia reservation. Wi-Fi coverage on the property is challenging.
