Who this stay suits
A sociable, pool-focused hotel with broad accommodation options and an on-site bar and restaurant — practical rather than polished.
Best for
- Budget-conscious travellers
- Solo travellers open to dorm or shared-bath rooms
- Small groups or families using the quadruple room
- Anyone wanting on-site food and drink without extra cost planning
Less suited to
- Travellers wanting a quiet, adults-only atmosphere
- Those expecting boutique-level finishes
Two pools on the property
The hotel runs two swimming pools, which is the most-cited facility by guests. Whether you want an early-morning lap or an afternoon in the water, having two pools reduces crowding during peak hours.
Room types from tents to suites
The lineup is genuinely varied: a canvas teepee tent with a patio and air conditioning sits alongside private suites at 33 m². That range lets the same property work for a backpacker and a couple wanting more space.
On-site bar and restaurant
A restaurant and bar are both on the premises, so there is no pressure to go out for every meal or drink. Breakfast is available at the property as well.
