Excellent rooms - very spacious and we'll equipped. Buffet was good. Service on the patio exceptional! 3 star rating is due to drivers quarters not being available during our stay. They are charging enough that there should be appropriate accommodations for drivers - they are very much a part of the trip and need to be well rested for long drives to and from Pasikuda.
