“Basic but clean and comfortable”
There was a pool which was clean and decent size. No real way to relax around it as there were no sun beds or chairs. Room clean and had a veranda with mesh to protect from Monkeys 🐒 very cheap and clean.

“Great for the price”
A nice, peaceful oasis on outskirts of town. Basic facilities, but comfortable enough. Small pool was a bonus.

This place is an absolute gem! It's basically a small resort. The pool is just awesome 😎 the water temp is just spot on. You can hide yourself in a shade next to the pool. Unfortunately not sunbeds are available but not a problem for me. The location is super quiet very good sleep here. But it's not far from the main road, shops and nearby is a fantastic restaurant with a huge garden. Wifi is working, hot water, toilet paper, AC, ceiling fan, so I'm very happy here! Just extended another night here 😃👍

The room was very clean and amenities available are more than enough. Staff are very friendly and were on call until midnight. Food was great and affordable. The property is close to the town area which helps visitors to access the town area for shopping.

“all the staff and hotele were good and nice”
very beautiful around the hotel friends. The welcome has been very nice. Manager and assistant manager very nice and polite and good respect. also the cleaning lady also very nice and respectful.👍👍👍👍👍 which is important for us who visit Tamil areas tamil girls are more sev defense protect themselves. We who visit the hotel must also respect everyone😁 I'm a Norwegian Tamil, I have a lot of travel experience, so the reason I recommend it to you is a very cozy area. The hotel has a guard so they are also very good, they are a bit older but they have a lot of experience I see 👍
