7.8/10 Good! (332 reviews)
It was a good deal for a night. The room was clean but the door to the bathroom was not working and we had issues with the water as it started to get colder after every shower. Only some minor inconvenience but it was a really good stay. Will book again if we see in the area again.👍

The rooms are big with a lot of space. They are needing a good clean as in mild in the shower. Handles on the kitchen bench were needing a scrub.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (128 reviews)
This was a wonderful accommodation. My husband and I stayed here 3 nights. The views were incredible. Sadly it rained a lot so we didn’t get to enjoy the beautiful grounds. Star the manager could not be any nicer. Anything we wanted she was there to get it for us. Our rooms were cleaned daily and amazing snack drawer was filled. Refrigerator was filled with drinks and replenished daily. Breakfast was made to order and was delicious. Much better than standard continental breakfasts normally served. Star even called us after we left because she wasn’t able to tell us by. I am very picky and don’t give 5 star ratings unless it’s exceptional.

The staff and restaurant were great. The room had no AC so it was kind of hot until the staff provided fans.
