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! ##### Vandana Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sachi 3 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Sachi Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Yuqi 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beware of the trash burning site nearby.
