This is a great choice is you don't want or can't stay inside the park. The property is literally on the river that serves as the southern boundary for the park - you can watch animals from the common patio. My only complaint is that the common area doubles as a dining area for the restaurant (which is so so). If you have your own food, snacks, wine etc. - there is no place other than you room that you are allowed to consume them. Slightly less stringent policies would be a step up.

Told on arrival that there had been a mistake in booking and we were to be accomodated at a grossly inferior hotel 2km away although we had booked months ago. Eventually they found us a room but other friends were not so fortunate. It has become apparent that overbooking is a regular practice here. Beware.

Our stay was excellent. The service & food was great and the staff were very friendly. The unit was really comfortable but could do with minor improvements, the air con was almost non functional in ours. The main reception restrooms needed attention & better lighting. Really enjoyed our stay though & will return again!

Complained about dirty sliding door entrace curtains and air conditioner that was not working. No feedback was given and the items were not adressed. Breakfast is great with freshly baked pastries and wide choices of items to eat Dinner is a buffet we tried it once and never again. They served bone hard pork and little pieces of fish that did not taste great at all! You can order from a set menu but are strongly encouraged to do the buffet, 1stly by their menu pricing and by the waiters.
