I had quite a mixed experience at the hotel. The care taken in cleaning the rooms left much to be desired initially, which was disappointing, but the friendly service and the beautiful surroundings somewhat made up for it. The dining was decent with great breakfast options and a delightful buffet for dinner. While the location near YALA National Park was perfect for my plans, I had some issues with bugs in my room, which shouldn't happen in a resort. Overall, it had its ups and downs.

My stay at the resort was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean, which made for a comfortable experience. The location by the lake offered stunning views and was a great place to unwind. However, I did find the dining options a bit lacking in variety, especially after long day trips. Additionally, while the services offered were helpful, some of them took longer than expected. Overall, it was a great value for the price.
