I traveled as a single female traveler, and felt safe for my entire stay up until the end. There are only men around, and I didn't like that seeing as it's so remote. But at the end, one of the employees knowing that I had a cold said I should get an ayurvedic massage. Then, without asking me, he came... More

The rooms were massive and clean with the added bonus of some sort of satellite TV to kill a few rainy hours. Dinner and breakfast were... More

We stayed here with our 1yr old daughter in January and had the most relaxing time. The staff are great, extremely helpful and great cooks. They went to great lengths to make our stay comfortable and organised all our transport for the last day at excellent prices. Recommend staying here 100%

The hotel arranged for our safaris to Yala National park as well and we got... More
