Spacious and Clean Rooms

I loved the spacious, modern, and spotlessly clean rooms at Saman Resort. The mosquito net and air conditioning made my stay comfortable, especially after a long day out. The huge bathroom was a good bonus!

I had a lovely stay at this resort spa. The large room was clean and comfortable, and the peaceful ambiance was a huge plus. However, the remote location made it a bit tricky to get to and it would have been nicer to have more comfortable seating by the pool. Overall, great value for the price, especially with the amazing food and pool facilities.

This resort was an incredible find in the Yala area. The staff made our stay truly special with their friendliness and helpfulness. The spacious rooms were spotlessly clean, and the amazing pool area was the perfect spot to relax. One highlight was the safari they organized for us, where we got to see leopards and elephants. However, I wish there were more dining options in the restaurant. Overall, it was excellent value for money and a wonderful experience.

I had a fantastic experience in a tranquil setting surrounded by beautiful nature. The staff was incredibly accommodating, even arranging a thrilling safari where I saw amazing wildlife. While the second day took a turn due to a misunderstanding regarding breakfast, the overall stay was memorable with spacious and comfortable rooms, although the location felt a bit isolated. I left with a heavy heart after enjoying the excellent food and pool.
