Modern, clean and bright hotel (only a year old). All rooms have balconies and big doors facing the countryside views and wildlife. The front desk staff are extremely helpful and will gladly lend you anything that you need for the room (kettle etc) Good buffet breakfast and meals by the pool and bar are good quality and not too over inflated in price for a hotel. Next to a road so not totally silent but generally a good relaxing place to stay.
