I got a suite! The room had a view of the temple from both the living room and bedroom. There was a surprise porthole in the wall from the bathtub. It gave another view of the temple too. Dinner was fine dining at a reasonable price. The chef's special aperitifs were delicious!!!

The staff could have been a bit more generous with smiles.
