    I stayed in a beautiful queen room aboveground. It was clean, spacious, and super comfy with a mini bar and air conditioning. The breakfast at the cafe was amazing, with large servings of delicious food and excellent cappuccinos. The staff were welcoming and really made the stay enjoyable.

    The location of the room, although nice, was a bit far from the main attractions.

    5.0

    The underground tunnels provide a unique and private lodging experience that is quite impressive. The spaciousness sets it apart, creating a restful retreat away from the hot surface, making it an interesting choice for adventurers seeking something different.

    There were some hiccups during the stay. One review mentioned issues like broken furniture and cleanliness concerns, with black mold in the shower being particularly alarming. another guest pointed out that security was lacking. efforts to secure the premises seemed insufficient given reported theft incidents. while the concept and novelty are fantastic, the execution could use some serious improvement.

    friendly bar staff
    dirty balcony
    unclean room

    I stayed with a group in a Queen Room with Balcony for 3 nights. The first room was super dirty, and the balcony was covered in bird droppings, which was a huge letdown. Thankfully, the second room was cleaner. It was definitely comfy but got no cleaning during our stay, even though we were out a lot. The pool was a bit chilly but decent, and Theo at the bar was really friendly, which was a highlight!

    Enjoyable Stay with Unique Features

    Staying in an underground room added a fascinating twist to my trip. The room was clean and spacious, providing a restful retreat. I highly recommend dining at the on-site restaurant. the set menu blew me away with its delicious flavors and excellent value. Go for the house wine!

    clean room
    charming pool
    nice outdoor area
    slow hot water

    Had a lovely stay in a clean King Room where everything felt just right. The swimming pool was a great place to chill, and the outdoor seating area was perfect for relaxing in the evening sun. The only slight hiccup was that it took a bit to get the hot water running, but once it did, it was fantastic! 😊
