About Maya Sanctuary

Are the queen or king rooms in the guesthouse equipped with their own kitchen and spa facilities?

Rooms in the guesthouse provide shared access to the kitchen, lounge, and a spa on the verandah. For private amenities, consider the Spa Cottages or Artist's Cottage, which include their own kitchenettes and spas.

When it is mentioned that there is no internet service, does that mean only the lack of Wi-Fi? Is the mobile phone signal strong?

20 April 2024
