Very peaceful place to stay. We pretty much had the garden area and beach all to ourselves both days. We got a free upgrade from the Bamboo Hale to the Papaya Hale, which was very nice and afforded us more room than we could even use. Raymond came out and greeted us as we arrived; he pointed out some beach chairs that we could borrow and take down to the beach and told us where the nearest stores were located. Overall a great experience.
