Israelbeautiful place. you sit at the pool and you can watch at the same time a lake with crocodiles, birds, wild bores, dears, … there also came an elephant at the pool and in between the rooms. it is so cool! The staff is very friendly and helpful. they accompanie you to the room after dark in case there would be an elephant. We were helped by Lalith and Glen, both very kind and helpful. The food was also amazing, just as the cocktails. You have to try the signature one; jungle cocktail, so good! Our experience here was one out of a dream, you have to see it for yourself!
