I chose this place because of the location. So gloriously isolated and peaceful. The little bamboo huts are beautiful. They seem to be developing brick bungalows on the other side of the hill, which look nice too. Breakfast was good, but the dinners were average. The men of the the property spend most of their time smoking and drinking, but they're nice enough. The road into the property is it's biggest let down. I had read the reviews, and was prepared for a bad track, and it was. This makes it a bit of an effort to go out and explore. Riding a bicycle is treacherous and uncomfortable. And at the end of a long dayout, it seems even worse. They really need to fix the road to justify the very high prices for the rooms. Yes, it's quite expensive. And it looks like the brick bungalows will be even more expensive. I certainly won't be able to justify the expense for another visit. But for a unique, extremely peaceful time, this place was worth it for a short stay. If the owners could fix the road and make it more affordable, I would be recommending it to everyone, and planning a return trip.

The road and the food.
