    Avoid the budget rooms!!
    We originally booked a budget room but as soon as we checked in we quickly paid an extra $15 per night for a standard room which was a considerable improvement. The budget room was dark, smelled damp and was infested with ants. I expect a few ants in a tropical hotel but this…

    Quite a modern heritage place ))

    "I would not book any room."
    "Mountain view room where we were can see lots of birds"
    "Our room on the upper level facing the pond and mountain was quiet and private."
    "ask for a newer room"
    "Older rooms attached top the old house are poor quality. Modern rooms adjacent to the pool are a lot better."
