Wonderful Common Area & Disappointing Delux room ( not maintained)
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful from outside. The common area are wonderful. The swimming pool and the trees was magnifique.

Cons:

There were dead insects in the room. The AC was not working the first night . They repaired it at 23:00 while we were in the room - they could have checked these earlier. same for my parents room - AC was leaking all night. the Toilets were smelly and they should have redone the joints - was leaking. We had a safety issue my daughter fell on the shower area on the head near the swimming pool..

Our stay in Chandrika
Pros:

From the moment we arrived the staff were exceptionally good to us. Ravidu in the restaurant served us. It was our honeymoon and he made it extra special by decorating our table.
The rooms were very clean and tidy also there was a turning down in the evening where they left a plate with chocolates on.
We had a lovely time there.

Calm and peaceful stay
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at the resort. We had already been travelling for a week before we came to Yala so were pretty tired and just wanted to relax and stay in and the resort served as the perfect place for it. It had all the amenities in a top condition, the property was very peaceful and calm. We got upgraded to a condo which was nice. The customer service is top notch with quick response to any request whatsover. Coming to the food they had a huge spread varying from continental to asian to local cuisine. We were travelling with 2 vegetarians so the staff went put of the way to make sure that they had plenty of options to choose from. Special thanks to Ravidu from the restaurant for such a warm experience. Highly recommend.
