6/10 Good

Dirty Patio and outdated hotel
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed in one of the cabins, was very private although the unit smelt very musty during our 2-night stay. There are no lights (bulbs have been taken out) on the driveway, so very dark walking from restaurant back to our cabin in the evening, could easily have walked over the bank as you cannot see anything

Gate villa is perfect for two couples. We are really enjoyed our stay!
Inna, 1-night trip

Stayed for 4 days very beautiful place to stay, fresh air and friendly staff. Fresh towels everyday. Gym room was good. Pool was nice too. Only gave 4 stars due to noise from other tourists in the hotel, too noisy late at night, when trying to rest. I would stay here again, thankyou.
