We made a last-minute booking and were lucky to get the Sky Villa – a true gem and hidden treasure! The view was absolutely breathtaking, with a private jacuzzi pool and an unbeatable sense of privacy. The service was exceptional, with staff operating at the highest level of professionalism. Totally worth the price. The feeling of being on top of a giant rock is indescribable – truly unique! The room was brand new, and we learned the hotel only opened three months ago. You definitely won’t regret staying here!

I will give 100 stars out of 5 stars for this property.. If the readers viewing the review to book this property..please read completely and then Don't hestitate to book this property as below are the reasons and my own experience which is very positive. We booked this property for 1 day stay and then we planned to reach by 11pm in night but unfortunately we able to reach the property only by 3am in midnight... The take carer was couples Uncle and aunty (with young mindset and care) They didn't even hesitate to receive us in midnight 3am which was really good and warm welcome.. The room was very tidely and clean enough to stay and enjoying with friends. The next morning we were planning to go to elephant orphanage but the takecarer directed to the near by elephant spot where the elephant bathing, riding and feeding the elephant.. Luckily the takecarer uncle only helped with tuktuk ride to the spot and he took care of us like their own daughter and son... He help us to get the best rate from the vendor of elephant camp. Breakfast was served on time which was prepared in home and served with all the love and care - They were ready to provide the hot beverages as per wish. They even helped us with the cab/van enquiries for next iteration from their place which means very helpful
