I had a group of 16 staying at the lodge and we all absolutely loved it! The facility was lovely and the rooms were very nice. The staff especially are very welcoming and kind. Best experience was walking out of the restaurant after dinner and seeing an elephant standing in the middle of the path. 10/10 would recommend!

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff was good and rooms were big and clean - a bit gloomy though and the fourniture was uncomfortable. However, the food was poor and very expensive. Furthermore, the pool was small, cold and dirty.
Overall Infeel this accommodation is very much overpriced.
