Honestly I liked every bit of my vacation here. It's a nice place to visit and explore 😍 Clean and classy rooms. Security is on point.
Ruth NaomiLovely place with extremely attentive staff. Very clean, good food and beautiful location. They organised fly fishing nearby for my son (age5), and he had a great time. A hidden gem. We'll go again.
Bianca JingaBreathtaking views, awesome hospitality. John is an amazing tour guide and his fishing skills are unrivaled.
