    Great staff, very friendly, kind, and accommodating. A nice houseboat cruise through the canals and backwaters. The food was very good and more than plentiful.

    Cruising on the Grand Villa houseboat for two nights was a wonderfully unforgettable experience. The staff were top notch, and the chef was 5 star. He would be at home working in any Michelin Star restaurant. The ride on the waters was very smooth...
