Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: I was very pleased with the beauty and comfort of the building itself. The yoga space was lovely and accessible. The yoga teacehrs were excellent and also all the staff in Banana House were always helpful and kind. The breakfast was tasty and enjoyed the dinners.

Negative: I would ave liked to have a filtered water station in the common area and also to an espresso machine, but otherwise the food and drink department was good. There was a bit of an echo of sounds to my room from other terraces, the street and corridors that was sometimes a bit distracting.

Summary: Wonderful oasis in Shela
