    helpful staff
    delicious food
    beautiful setting
    check-in confusion

    Had a fantastic time with friends! Enjoyed a relaxing stay and went on two incredible safaris. The staff were super helpful, always ready to assist us with planning excursions like visiting ancient temples and enjoying local cuisine. The food was delicious, and we made great memories in a beautiful setting. Tip , be prepared to pay for park entries!

    We faced a bit of confusion with our package details upon arrival, which made check-in a hassle.

    helpful staff
    comfortable room
    disappointing dining
    uncomfortable mattress

    The staff were incredibly helpful, assisting us in recovering a lost phone and arranging an affordable ride to our next destination. the room was comfortable with effective air conditioning and a nice balcony.

    The dining options were somewhat disappointing, as dinner and breakfast lacked variety and quality. The mattress was less than ideal, leading to an uncomfortable night's sleep.

    stunning views
    traffic noise
    poor food quality

    Stunning views over fields from the back.

    We faced a lot of noise from the traffic. It was frustrating to be stuck in a room facing a wall instead of the picturesque surroundings. the food left much to be desired, particularly breakfast, which resulted in food poisoning for my partner.

    relaxing pool
    limited dining options

    We had a fantastic 2-night stay! The room was spacious and the pool was a perfect way to relax after our safari. Though the dining options were limited, the food was still good overall.

    mosquitoes
    breakfast

    the hotel could have provided mosquito nets or some insect spray, which I thought was standard, but obviously not here. The breakfast selection was rather dreary. some hoppers would have been nice instead of the endless curry. I nearly gave a good review but woudl ve been happier with a complimentary gesture considering my stay!

    excellent staff

    This place suits me perfectly, providing everything I need—free Wi-Fi, outdoor swimming pool, and 24-hour reception. On my first stay, the staff even helped me print important documents. I highly recommend it for a relaxing weekend getaway!
