I had a lovely stay at the resort, with breathtaking views of the beach from every room. The rooms were impressively spacious and clean, providing a comfortable haven after long days of exploring the nearby national park. While the service was mostly great, with staff going above and beyond to assist us, the overall experience was slightly marred by some needed updates in the facilities. Overall, it was a good value for the space and serenity it offered.

This hotel is really well-located, just a short drive from Yala National Park and right on the beach, offering some stunning views. The infinity pool is a definite highlight, and the rooms facing the ocean are quite spacious and comfortable. However, the service can be a bit inconsistent, particularly with language barriers, and the dining prices felt a bit high compared to local standards. Overall, it’s a decent spot for a quiet getaway, but those looking for a lively atmosphere might want to look elsewhere.

The location is fantastic, being just 10 minutes from Yala National Park and directly on the beachfront. It does feel isolated, which might not suit everyone.

Dining options were varied, but meals were on the pricier side for the area. The food was tasty, though, and I enjoyed the local and western choices available.

The facilities included a beautiful infinity pool and access to the beach, both of which were well-kept, although the restaurant needs some improvement.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel, especially the stunning views and spacious rooms. The proximity to Yala National Park made for some memorable wildlife encounters. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with mediocre food and service that seemed to prioritize military guests over others. The property definitely needs some maintenance, which affected my overall experience.

My stay at this resort was truly memorable due to the stunning views and the wildlife that frequently visited. The rooms were spacious and offered some fantastic sea views, although the food lacked variety and could be improved. While the service was friendly and accommodating, I encountered maintenance issues that detracted from an otherwise great experience. Overall, the location next to Yala National Park was perfect for an early safari, making it a worthwhile escape.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, right near the beach and simulating an incredible experience with stunning ocean views. The rooms were spacious and clean, providing a cozy ambiance for relaxation. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home, but the dining experience left something to be desired with limited flavorful breakfast options. The outdoor facilities, especially the pool, were a highlight for me despite the food needing improvement.
