Built as a retreat for Dutch planters, the Kresna dates from 1921 and retains a certain colonial charm with stained-glass windows and polished floors. Sadly little investment has been made to maintain standards and rooms are old fashioned and poorly serviced. Staff are delightful, however, and facilities include a grand restaurant, pleasant bar, pool table and a large pool.
