Clean cylinders, soundproof, cool. Tents big enough, some mosquitos but kept door zipped. Reception helpful with activities and laundry but pricey, went to town instead. Building work during day, bar next door loud late at night in tents. Pool on site nice, next door pool better with bar and drinks - good for relaxing after activities. Not very social place if looking for that.
