This is one of the best places we have ever stayed. We all loved it. The staff, the grounds, the pool and the food were all excellent. Nothing was to much trouble this is a home away from home that makes you relax as soon as you arrive. Should have stayed longer and would recommend to any one of any age.

The name of the resort is not displayed anywhere and we had huge problem locating it at night. Since its an "open to sky" bathroom,it was filled with insects due to light drizzle in the evening.
