Jenna's River Bed & Breakfast

Jenna's River Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"Such a beautiful bnb!!!! Most incredible views from the Armadillo room! Delicious included breakfast, made fresh from the sweetest chefs! Also a beautiful view from the restaurant. The staff was the best!! So, so nice and responsive with any questions. They also give you an info guide and were so helpful with booking transport, any activities, doing laundry, etc! It’s about a 12min tuktuk ride from town, they give you a number for a tuktuk driver that you can text when you need a ride- Lino is the best ever, you can also grab one from town, it’s like $3. Great spot if you want to be close but not eight in the busy town! "
