thas the correct spelling. It's an amazing and wonderful place with many choices of level of luxury. It has a great restaurant, is close enough to town to walk or it provides free shuttles. The site is on the side of a gorge with a river down below so some of the lower level rooms require negotiating quite a few stairs but there are rooms close to the top too.
There are many beautiful gardens, jungles, pools and fountains and an incredible spa in a cave-like grotto. There is a strong history to the place going back to the royal family in the early 20th century and European adventurers of that era.
The staff are professional and courteous, the setting is peaceful and sublime. I would definitely return there and highly recommend it.
It's not the cheapest place in town, it's far from the dearest but it offers great value for not a great outlay.
