Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious, modern rooms of a very high standard, which were comfortable but slightly dark with no main light. The location by the Yala National Park was impressive, with a go-green concept and close proximity for safaris. The dining experience was a mix of good and poor quality dishes. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement in dining.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, with spacious rooms featuring large balconies overlooking the ocean and a lovely private beach. The pool area was great too. However, there were some safety concerns with the shutter not being able to close properly due to roaming wild animals in the area.
My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. The rooms were luxurious, spacious, and equipped with lovely amenities, although the dining experience left something to be desired. The location was simply amazing, offering a perfect blend of nature and convenience.
The hotel offers a unique experience with campsite-style rooms that may not fully match the booking site's images. While the rooms had a sofa and coffee table, the overall value for the price might not be ideal.
