This I believe was the score price for my trip!
Wasn’t able to find much detailed reviews about this property from my research other than that on TripAdvisor (and even so, Dec 2023 being the last review) so hopefully this will help someone else 🙂

It did take a lot of research before I landed of this property especially when they don’t have an official website of their own. Still, the reviews and pics I saw on Trip.com convinced me enough and off I go
