I booked the hotel because they had airport shuttle from and BACK TO the airport, plus the picture of the pool. Never used the pool, but the hotel provides you with a tuk tuk, with your personal driver, Nolen in our case. What a great deal! There is a charge for his services to the ruins of about $15/day. It cost us only $60 for the 4 days. Ruins, butterfly farm, country side, restaurants, stores, massages, he ran us all over and waited while we were there, with cold bottles of water, when we returned. Tours and individual tuk tuk rides would have cost us well over $300-$400 and would have wasted considerable time and money.
I gave Nolen a hefty tip! What a great deal!
Driving slowly around in a tuk tuk is a great way to see, feel and smell the area.
What a hidden gem!
