Stayed here for 5 nights last July (2009). The rooms are reasonably priced, clean, very adequate, and air-conditioned. The hotel needs a little updating, but it is fine for the money.

It's great to get advice like this with pictures and specific details about where to get good local food (fruit). What is the season for custard apples? Are they a summer fruit?
