Zaangażowany personel jest w tym hotelu.
Pros:

Bardzo dobra współpraca z personelem. Manager recepcji zasługuje na premię, podobnie jak manager restauracji hotelowej - za każdym razem proponował, że zrobi coś dla dzieci, jeśli lokalna kuchnia nie będzie im odpowiadać. Mam wrażenie, że sprzątanie było 2x dziennie! Hotel jest dobrym punktem wypadowym do jazdy na safari do Yala park. Nasz pokój był bardzo przestronny i cikeawie urządzony.

Cons:

Niestety smród znad jeziora był trudny do wtrzymania, podobnie jak zimna woda w basenie z powodu porywistego wiatru znad jeziora.

Pros:

Fantastisk lokation ned til søen med flot udsigt.
Flot hotel og med et meget venligt og service minded personale.

Cons:

Der var ikke noget i nærheden, så man kunne ikke rigtigt gå ud fra hotellet.

Pros:

A beautiful lakeside property with all the amenities you would expect of such a place. We were met by Ramesh the manager who talked us through the property and informed us of a room upgrade which was unexpected and tremendousl generous and wonderful.

The room was an absolute delight as were all the staff from room to kitchen to valet.

A truly memorable lakeside experience with beautiful pool and easy access to nearby Yala NationalmPark.

Recommended highly.

Disappointing but clearly the staff are trying but hotel needs updating
Pros:

Staff trying hard to be accommodating and friendly. Nice refreshing towel when arrive and get back from safari. Checked how you were getting on throughout the stay.

Cons:

Pool loungers and towels dirty/stained. Bathroom not clean. Rooms in general need updating. You can’t take any drinks down to the seating area by the lake. The only seating area outside for a drink has big clumps of straw falling onto it from the thatched roof which was dangerous. Pool also not clean with a ring around the inside.

Good location, comfortable beds and good food.
Pros:

Located in a good location not far from Yala national park, and walking distance to small shops and restaurants. The beds were comfortable and the view was nice over the lake. The food was good and reasonably priced. Breakfast has a wide range of options. Staff are friendly.
Overall a pleasant stay.

Cons:

Not a problem - We had a problem with our a/c one night and they changed (and updated) both our rooms.
