A beautiful setting directly on Tissa lake. The lobby opens out straight onto the garden and pool. Our room had opening sliding doors allowing an unhindered views of the lake. Hundreds of birds coming and going and there is an amazing twilight sight as the fruit bats leave the island for the night. Nice local area and an easy walk along the lakeside into town for the night. Food and service was great.

Nice lake views

A reasonably comfortable stay in Tissa on the lake for one night in a Deluxe Room. The views from the pool/lake seating at sunset were great with lots of birds flying around. It's easy to take a walk around the lake from the hotel and there are a number of restaurants within a short walk - New Cabana was perfect for dinner.

Our stay

We enjoyed our stay. Staff is excellent. Very friendly. Our room sink filled water, for both days our TV was not working at all. Amenities are not in good condition for the price we paid. It was an old building.

Property is well maintained and staff are friendly. Just overnighted there and didn't get to use the facilities properly. Menu needs improvement. Probably they need to hire a better chef

因為酒店在大整理所以沒有成功入住，但是還是很客氣的請我們喝了一杯超棒的飲料，冰冰涼涼味道很好，周圍環境也是很漂亮，就在Tissa湖旁邊，不過超級幸運升等到另一家酒店感覺真的太棒了
