elephant decorationreally good servicegreat safari
I enjoyed the special touches upon arrival. The Jungle Chalet Twin Safari featured elephant and leaf decorations on the bed. Danushka, my waiter, provided really good service. His English was excellent. The hotel organised a great safari. I saw many animals.
The breakfast buffet had limited options for specific dietary needs.

The service staff was very helpful. My room was super clean thanks to the efficient cleaning service. The open-air restaurant and bar areas were quite nice. The safari tour was nice thanks to the guide's profound wildlife knowledge..
The pool area needed a little maintenance, as I observed a few missing tiles.
