Nature Retreat

pool areacrab currydirt roads

I really enjoyed the hotel surroundings. Monkeys climbed trees near the pool area. The food was tasty and the black pepper crab curry was a must, though messy.

The roads to the hotel are dirt, and this made for a bumpy arrival. I think the hotel should fix them.

Location

9/10

The hotel is away from the main road, giving it a special feel. It is in nature, but has modern comforts. Its position is central to visit historical areas.

Service

Dining

Rooms
