I spent two nights here winding down from a trip to Malaysia and thoroughly enjoyed it. Ron and Brenda were great. They helped organize a scooter rental and sent me on my way each morning with a wonderful breakfast. The room was immaculate, the food a delight, and the surroundings peaceful. Excellent hosts and a very reasonable price. more
