Fantastic staff and amazing fresh beautiful food. It was an incredible experience of an eco-hotel. All the staff spoke english.

Loved this place! It had a very personal, friendly feel to it. More clarity needed on luggage restrictions - we were not informed that we could not take our suitcase and had to re-pack the rucksack , meaning we missed breakfast.
