Description
East meets West in this unusual hotel. It's starting to age and has a slightly neglected feel, thanks largely to the overgrown gardens and lawns. A major issue here is the low ceiling beams on the second-storey of the building -- anyone over about 170cm tall will have to duck to avoid knocking themselves unconscious. Rooms are clean but a bit oddly laid out, with a mix of Japanese-style sliding doors - which are too heavy to easily and a motley collection of nude photography on display. The black-tiled bathrooms do work. Upstairs, a wooden sun terrace is badly rotted in places, so watch out for splinters. On the upside, the pool and staff are great! The relatively low cost makes this a still kind-of attractive choice, though note that the standard rooms have no views and staff suggest going for a deluxe room to escape the traffic noise.

Corto is a small, comfortable resort with well-shaded concrete bungalows, all with aircon, hot water and big beds.
