"Adequate facilities for the purposes of the stay of three nights. Cost friendly and comfortable cabins. The hot pool was definitely a highlight inclusive of price. The showers were a little tricky to use and having an information booklet to assist in knowing how to use them would be helpful. Hot showers require $2 coins."
