The fact that there wasn’t a microwave in any of the rooms was unique.

The outdoor garden was so beautiful, the room was spacious. Did not like the walkway to the store it was sketchy, the outdoor lights were turned off at a certain time which made it very dark outside, we had to use our phone light to light the pathway.
The rooms were pretty awesome. Only issue is that they were both a bit infested with spiders that i had to kill myself. I let the staff at the front know and they were nice enough and said they were going to send someone to check it out while we were out but i dont belive they ever did due to the crushed spiders on the walls still being there. I still reccomend it though.
The room was spotless. Great bed etc. The staff is so helpful. Majid and Gabriella went out of their way to help me. The Crocodile Lounge restaurant is great. Definitely this is the place to stay in SB. The rates are great.
