I had a decent experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, with a comfy king-size bed and a nice balcony to relax on. The location was great too, being close to the zoo and surrounded by nature. However, there were some cleanliness issues in the room, specifically black mold in the shower area, which was concerning. Service was above average, but the breakfast timing could use some improvement.

I stayed at this hotel and loved the peace it offered, being surrounded by beautiful wildlife and lush vegetation. The rooms were spacious and had great amenities, but my room was far from the main lodge, which was a bit inconvenient. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience very pleasant. However, I found the dining options to be limited for the price I paid.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the plus side, the location is beautiful and not too far from the airport, making it convenient for getting around. The staff is extremely friendly and professional, creating a welcoming atmosphere. However, the rooms had some soundproofing issues, and the dining service could have been more timely, especially for early risers. Overall, it’s a decent place with some room for improvement.
