Positive: The place was clean, the staff were friendly and very helpful. The scenery is exceptional and the fact that they wash your car before departure. I am definitely coming back, the pictures don't do justice to the place
Negative: The shower is too small, the water was splashing all over the place

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Our stay at this property could not have been any better. The accommodations were fantastic. The beds very comfortable, the food was delicious. The location was incredible - but most of all - the staff made our stay exceptional! Our host Cynthia the first day was a delight. She was very welcoming and kind. The next day, we were greeted by Bonny who was equally delightful. Bonny helped us arrange some day-trips at some locations nearby such as a river tour and a tour of a wildlife rehabilitation facility. She was so helpful. Bonny and Cynthia were the best. In addition to these ladies, all of the staff there was so kind and considerate of our needs. All of my travel companions were very happy. If I could give 100 stars I would.
Negative: There was nothing we did not like.
Summary: If you want to experience paradise - book a stay.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Nice setting on the river
Negative: We experienced a problem opening and closing the gate when we entered and again when we left did not work and we had to phone reception. The delay meant we were late for our next appointment. The evening meal was simple and great but hugely over priced. The shower had no place to put your toiletries and to put it on the basin floor is a no go.

Positive: My stay was extremely comfortable and Cynthia and her team couldn't have been more helpful. It's a beautiful tranquil spot along the river and the chalets are beautifully decorated and private. The staff even cleaned my dusty car and windows each morning, a lovely extra touch, also excellent wi-Fi which was a lovely bonus!
