Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Rooms were okay and clean. Location was great and Room view was excellent. Breakfast buffet was good. Experience with elephants from orphanage was something all people in our group valued. Felt okay for the value paid because of that experience.
Negative: Some rooms were small. Extra small water bottle cost about 6 times marked price of bottle. So that was pretty expensive.
Summary: Great place with a nice view and a great experience
