    The host is really friendly and nice. She met us and explained everything about the room, and gave us some fresh pineapple juice as a welcome drink. The room itself was clean and comfortable with a nice huge balcony. The price meets the quality. :)

    Host arranged safari and provided packed meals for Safari. She was very accommodating and provided home cooked meal for toddler. We could not spend much time in property since our stay was short in Yala but the location is beautiful.
