The hotel offers a serene ambiance with rooms overlooking the garden from a terrace. The service was exceptional, with a range of convenient options available. The location provides a tranquil setting just outside Mao, by the coast, surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens. The dining experience was delightful with fresh-cracked eggs. Overall, a great choice with some minor drawbacks in certain areas.
