I found this hotel to be a hidden gem with its tranquil setting amidst a jungle of a garden. The rooms were delightful with a kitchenette, air conditioning, and lovely seating on the veranda. The hotel made great efforts to try and remedy any situation that arose, and their service was top-notch. The location, nestled in lush greenery, made me feel like I was truly in nature, yet still conveniently close to everything. The dining experience, especially the prime steaks, was a highlight. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay.
