My stay at Thaulle resort was nothing short of amazing. It’s perched beautifully overlooking Yoda Lake, which provided a serene backdrop to our honeymoon. The meals we shared were delectable, making every dining experience a treat. Though we were a large family group and felt we might have disrupted the tranquil atmosphere, the staff made sure to cater to us and even surprised my sister with a lovely birthday celebration. The only downside was a slightly bumpy safari ride, but it was all worth it for the adventure. I genuinely recommend this resort for anyone visiting Yala!
