The staff was helpful. They explained the facilities and offered information on nearby attractions. The chef prepared an excellent curry. It featured nine separate dishes. Each was packed with flavor.
The location is somewhat remote. It requires a fifteen-minute tuk-tuk ride to the city center. The dinner menu seemed somewhat small.
