So cool to book a room with a private outdoor mineral water tub to use. The room was also nice and comfortable, with some useful kitchen amenities like a French press coffee pot/plunger coffee.

A little out-dated and minor upgrades would benefit the overall look of the suites. Units could benefit from patio friendly dishes to use when bbqing. No BBQ brush. Dated interior (brown carpet). Amenities do not seem to be cleaned or taken care of. Only one pack of coffee for the morning (not useful for couples). Also tiles and blocks around the pool are concern for safety.
