The property was decent, though quite hard to reach. We were there only for 1 night. The views were wonderful. It was crowded which was good (did not feel like we made the wrong choice) Food was ok. Room was ok - there was a smell in the room which not very pleasant. Showering was good, water pressure and temperature of the water was perfect!

The place has a beautiful view and a nice pool, although the pool water is quite cold. The food was good, but the Wi-Fi was weak. The biggest downside is the nearby trash site—they burn garbage frequently, which affects the air quality.
