inflated jeep rental price intrusive chef

The staff helped us arrange taxis. The hotel offered big rooms and a large pool.

The pricing for the jeep rental for the safari tour seemed inflated. I discovered later that I overpaid significantly, lacking transparency in the initial quote. Loud music played late into the night. I could hear it around 11pm to 12.30am. One chef was too intrusive. He bothered me at every meal.
