It's mostly crowded and busy on weekends when there are a bunch of activities other than that, it's an overly quiet environment with lots of space.

It's a nice beautiful place to be in, the rooms are from 5k to 9k. The place doesn't have AC though, the service is slow and you would have to remind Themfor almost everyday. The hotel itself is very quiet, perfect for a retreat.
