8/10 Good
"Great resort by the river however 5km from town along a dirt track road. So that makes it super quiet and relaxing but you are reliant on taxis or shuttle Staff try very hard and are charming There was a power cut in evening when I was there and there is no back up generator and I need electricity for my cpap machine And everything is expensive eg airport drop off $25 ..loca $8 But gorgeous views of the river and breakfast is amazing And special mention for Matilda yoga instructor"
