"Beautiful property, super tranquil and lovely staff. The views are absolutely unmatched, and the food is delicious. A little pricier than other places but for good reason, worth every penny! The only feedback we'd share is based on the rating of the hotel the pool could do with a good scrub as it's a little rusty in places. "

"In over 38°C, the taxi driver and I could not locate the property. Expedia cannot locate the owners. No one gave me my money back and no one apologize. This is like an abortion that wouldn’t die. I ended up sleeping in the airport because they were no hotel rooms available due to Taylor Swift visit or the hotel rooms cost over $1000 a night I expect more from Expedia then to become homeless in a foreign country that I do not speak the language and cannot get any help The address of the property...
