Impossible to sleep. We mentioned it to the receptionist and she mixed us to a quieter, slightly smaller room, which we were very grateful for. I will say the food was good and reasonably priced. The restaurant staff was way overworked on the weekends, but very pleasant anyway. They had a terrific 2 for 1 on...

"This property is a gem! We stayed a week in December and had an all around lovely stay. The bungalows were clean and so relaxing.
