Great spot although you need a car. Has a good kitchen and a laundry so great if you've been trekking etc and need a few days rest

Nice place, friendly and professional people. HOWEVER, the same cannot be said for WOTIF: this agency is non-communicative and ignores emails. If you have a booking issue, cancellation or similar, don't hold your breath waiting for WOTIF to respond: they won't. The hotel's advice is: they, themselves cannot deal with bookings made directly with WOTIF: fair enough. Based on our experience, we wont book anything through WOTIF / EXPEDIA.

While the room was perfect . The pool and spa were infested with bees. When we went back to reception we were told ‘ they are bees are we have reported them ‘ , this was after we asked about the pool ( where it was in location to our room ). We were told to use the other pool - which also had loads of ‘ bees’. When speaking with other guests - they told us they were wasps. So no spa available . I’d argue that it was unsafe for anyone - and should have been informed of that during checkin. Also no parking in front of our room. Meh - stay was ok but could have been better

Property was well appointed. I particularly liked the laundry facilities in our apartment. There was a bit of road noise from our apartment but this was not an issue during the night.
