8/10 Very Good

The shower was with low water pressure and went hot and cold all the time. The biggest complaint we had was that we stayed 2 nights which was good but the food in the restaurant was the same menu, very limited and expensive. Need more variety and more options as this location was very remote and this really was our only option for food. Beautiful grounds, loved the butterfly garden and natural sauna and mineral pools.
