The lodge itself was beautifully finished and furnished, exuding a clear sense of luxury, while the staff were very friendly and the food was excellent; we even got to check in a bit early, which we really appreciated. They arranged a safari in Yala National Park for us, and the driver/guide was clearly experienced, making the outing highly enjoyable. However, a hole in the roof let a squirrel constantly dart in and out of our room, one of the lounge chairs was broken and its cushions couldn’t be secured, so they kept blowing away in the strong wind. Construction on a neighboring villa meant constant work noise, which reduced the relaxation factor. Service timing wasn’t the strongest point—meals took between one and one‑and‑a‑half hours to arrive, and we were asked to be ready for the safari at 5:30 am, yet breakfast wasn’t prepared until 5:45 am. Overall these weren’t major annoyances, but they left us a bit disappointed given the over‑$300 price for a single night.
