Really good Culinary Experience

“During my stay, I was truly impressed by the really good culinary offerings. The evening meals were crafted from local produce, and I particularly enjoyed the Prawn & Chicken Laska with noodles, which was fragrant with lemongrass. Breakfast was equally excellent, with generous portions cooked to order. The careful attention to detail in the menu truly tempts you to dine in every night.” view full review
