I had a wonderful stay at this resort nestled right in Yala Park. The rooms were absolutely gorgeous, and the attention to detail made the experience even better. However, some aspects of the service could use improvement, as there were a few delays. The dining offered flavorful meals, but the limited options for breakfast left something to be desired. Overall, it was a great value for a unique safari experience.
