The.reason to stay here was for the balcony view of the animals. My kids were super excited to feed the animal from the balcony. Overall room was clean, but do expect critters during your stay. As this is an outdoor resort, they will be bugs, lizard that might make their way into your room.w However, you can always call the hotel staff to remove the lizards.

Overall, our stay was good. Food at the hotel was good quality, but not as great as some of the other places in Bali for the same money. Rooms were clean on the surface, but could use a deep clean and a bit of a renovation in some spots since they are showing signs of wear and tear.

Amazing stay! Stepping out onto the balcony to see zebras, wilderbeast, a rhino, a giraffe and elephants is such a fantastic experience. The buffet breakfast is in the lions den! We booked the Night Safari and highly recommend this, we were in a cage, travelling through the safari park feeding animals in the dark. Book a Twiga room for 1st floor rooms with animal view, some of these have connecting rooms whereas the family suites seem to overlook the pool area.
