Truely a great location andcset up. Buildings are imaginatively designed, pool area is lovely and food is good (could be better for vegetarians). The jewel in the crown is the elephant sanctuary which enables you to get very close to the majestic beasts. The only caveat is the price, very expensive when compared to hotels of a similar standard.
