We stayed here for a friends wedding and felt like royalty. The service was impeccable and the grounds were clean. I loved how a boat took you to your hotel room! The outdoor showers were very beautiful and added to a rustic ambience. I enjoyed laying down on the roof deck too. This place would be perfect for a honeymoon or just a very relaxing holiday with your partner. The food was fantastic
