The rooms are so cozy and well-equipped, with a flat-screen TV, a fridge, and a desk. We loved chilling on the balcony after a long day. Cons: the loud music at the pool could be a bit overwhelming sometimes.

Serene Sanctuary by the River the tranquil location by the river, outstanding staff service, and expansive swimming pool made our family stay exceptional. the natural ambiance and cheerful bird sounds created a rejuvenating break from our travels. It would be even better once the hotel receives its alcohol license for a more comprehensive dining experience.

Picture this—fresh-baked scones that'll make your taste buds sing, top-notch staff service that leaves you feeling like royalty, and a tranquil pool perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure.
