Our read

The water is the reason to come, and it stays small enough to feel like a house rather than a hotel.

Come here for

Bathing culture over treatment menus
Small groups and solo travellers who dislike crowds
Sleeping outdoors without giving up a real bed
Walking every day and sleeping hard

Skip it if

You want resort scale, with several restaurants and a crowd to disappear into

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.
