I stayed at this resort and it was a lovely experience overall. The outdoor bathroom and hot showers were a unique touch that added to the charm. The setting by the river was beautiful, but it could be a bit isolated for some. I appreciated the value for money, especially given the clean and comfortable accommodations, although some facilities could use a bit of updating.
