mixed feelings about the stay

hard mattressbiting ants

i must say the bed was surprisingly hard and the bedding was like it had seen better days it needs an update. also the lack of a proper path to town was disappointing we tried hiking but the overgrowth and relentless biting ants turned us back it was not fun. the hotel really should maintain that path for adventurous guests it could be a real draw if it was safe.
