One of a kind experience. Incredibly attentive staff, beautiful and spacious rooms. Service was 10/10. Amazing breakfast (included) with more than you could possibly imagine. Plus a lovely cocktail hour with delicious cocktails and bites. Free taxi service to dinners in town. Can’t recommend Pihopa enough!
