“Great value stay”
This is a small property near Yala. A note of caution: while it’s advertised as a 5-star hotel, it really isn’t—but I was aware of that from the price and the pictures, so I didn’t come in with unrealistic expectations. To my surprise, the stay turned out better than expected. The check-in process was smooth and welcoming, with a refreshing drink and a cool towel. The room was standard but spacious, clean, and came with a balcony overlooking the pool. We had the half board option, and the dinner buffet was good. There weren’t too many choices, but the quality was nice and everything was enjoyable. A big plus was that the hotel provided us with a breakfast box at 4 a.m. for our safari, which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. Overall, considering the competitive price, I think this property delivers great value and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable stay at a fair price near Yala.

Great hotel, nice room with enough space for 3 people, really enjoyable swimming-pool. The restaurant was nice. Staff very friendly but sometimes communication was difficult as some of them did not speak a really fluent English. But they tried their best for each of our demand.

“Friendly staff and great pool area”
Pool area was great, especially when travelling with kids. Location was excellent as close to a few restaurants and Yala which meant we didn’t have to wake too early for the early morning safari.

The staff is amazing, very nice, very helpful, always smiling, everyone is so polite. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, the pool is fantastic. They took care of our transfer from the previous hotel and also organized a full day safari to Yala, so we couldn't ask anything they wouldn't help with. We had a very pleasant stay.

“Good atmosphere, nice hotel”
This is a very pleasant hotel. Excellent and prepared staff. Large and clean pool, beach with towels and beds. We went on safari early in the morning. The hotel was prepared to pack a cold breakfast. The rooms are well equipped. This is a 1-story hotel. I will gladly choose it again next time.
