"We stayed in a room with a private swimming pool, and it was absolutely amazing, with a truly beautiful view. We woke up to the most stunning sunrises, accompanied by the soothing sounds of nature and wildlife. The staff were lovely and made the experience even better. The only thing we felt was missing was a small mini market. There were restaurants, but nowhere to quickly grab an ice cream or some snacks after a long day in the sun ect. This is the kind of hotel you go to when you want...
