    Comfortable and cozy!

    "noise from the road and from the birds"
    "The bungalows are worth the additional expense"
    "The bungalows are delightful"
    "The Villa was great for a family. Two bedrooms and a full kitchen, also a little but more private from the rest of the hotel."
    "We stayed in the bungalow on the hill. Next time I am going to ask for the one closest to the pool and dining area."
