Stayed for a week at this amazing location between the Indian Ocean and Yala National Park. This is a well managed property with great service from food, housekeeping, safaris, and a new gym and children science center. We loved this luxurious glamping resort and hated to leave. So many wonderful staff members. There are several other resorts near by but this is the one!

Exceptional experience. The hotel itself was stunning, the staff incredible and the food and drinks fantastic. Very children friendly but also a lively happy hour and bar. The quality of the hotel finishings were top tier. Highly recommend. The safari was great too - and with the hotel location the long line at 6am to get into the national park is avoided!

One of the best hotels among the more than a thousand hotels I have stayed in. There is absolutely nothing, not even the smallest issue. Everything is in perfect and well-maintained condition. If you have an eye for detail and know how difficult it is to achieve this level of quality, you can’t stop being amazed. The fact that something like this can even be built and maintained in such a remote location is an organizational masterpiece! The food is perfect for everyone and beautifully presented. The staff is professionally trained and very friendly and accommodating. The price-performance ratio is TOP and worth every cent. BIG PRAISE!!
