Sweet Slumber

The bamboo mattress in our room was incredible! I slept so soundly each night, and the quality of the linens added to the luxurious feel. It's definitely one of the most comfortable beds I've experienced during my travels.

Cozy Lounge

The communal lounge was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. It had a warm and inviting ambiance, and I loved curling up with a book while enjoying a hot drink from the 24-hour coffee maker. A lovely space to relax!
