If this place warrants a visit from you,i bet it definitely is not going to be bad place for sure.

I read a couple of reviews from Trip advisor,so far NONE has any negative comment on this place. The worst comment i saw was,its quite a distance from most shopping and mongering area. So i believe this place should be more for the rest and relax tourist,away from city life,away from urbanization and for those who wish to move closer to nature. More of like a picnic getaway feel type of place.

You just makes me wonder,is their room there sound-proofed?

Yea,its definitely more like a small Hotel and restaurant with a certain theme meant for certain people at an affordable cost who wishes to stay away from city area yet not too far from it.
