Lovely family & great location yet after check in the cracks started appearing. Not only is there the worlds most mosquitos in your room due to wholes in the design of upper ceiling & the mosquito curtain aiding this swarm yet blocking the ceiling fan - there was a water shortage at 10:45pm in which they decided to manually pump water for an hour to the room above us.. fair to say my partner didn’t need sleep, water was only cold & I got eaten alive. Ultimately, not worth the money.
