My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, with great amenities like a good shower, locker safe, and fantastic bed. However, the dark and unwelcoming bathroom appearance was a downside. The location was fantastic, close to Yala National Park and with a serene atmosphere. The dining experience was enjoyable but had some temperature issues with the food. Overall, a good value for the money.
