I love this place! Usually on work trips I just want to get back home,but staying here, I wish I could have stayed longer and will probably book extra nights on my next trip. The rooms are spotless and incredibly comfortable. It is so tranquil and peaceful. There is a beautiful pool , relaxing outside sitting area, gym and bar. But besides all the luxuries and comforts of this Guesthouse. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. Steven was an absolute gem. I can can't wait to be back.
