The hotel rooms, with air conditioning, just 10 steps from the beach and 5 steps from the river, are very spacious and beautiful, ideal for accommodating a family of 4. They were quite big and comfy. However, the dining experience with a set menu was satisfying but could improve on punctuality. The location, tucked between the river and the sea, offers a nice ambiance, even though it's isolated with nothing around. From my experience, service was efficient with room service, laundry, and valet parking available. Overall, it's a great value for money stay.

The hotel's location is truly fantastic, offering a perfect mix of ocean and river views. While driving there might be a bit confusing, the hotel provides a tuk-tuk service in the evening for those looking to explore nearby eateries and bars. A definite 10 for the prime beachfront spot!

The dining experience was decent, with a satisfying set menu available. The manager's warm greeting and attention to detail, from check-in to breakfast service, was commendable. However, the meals themselves didn't look very appetizing, though homemade soups were a highlight.

I was amazed by the spacious rooms with a good old colonial touch, although it was disappointing that some were out of order. The open terrace and lagoon view added charm. The river view rooms were a delight, while those below had either tree or river views, offering a variety of beautiful scenes.

The hotel rooms are very spacious and can easily accommodate a family of 4, featuring either a beautiful river view or a serene tree view. The large comfortable double beds ensure a restful stay, though there is no direct beach view. The service is top-notch, offering convenient amenities such as room service, laundry, and valet parking. The location, though a bit tricky for driving, is quite nice being on the islet near the beach. The dining experience is satisfying, from the manager's greeting to the homemade pastries. The facilities are well-maintained, making for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
