The hotel is near the jungle. Peacocks roam the grounds and monkeys are around too. Breakfasts and dinners were FANTASTIC!!! The atmosphere is calm and pleasant.

The resort was managed by not professionals. The level was not a 5star one. Many facilities were out of order, like the billiard table. Only one ball was available for the ping pong table.
