I recently stayed at Sandai Resort and had a mixed experience. The location is great for birding, with knowledgeable guides available, and the staff genuinely made the stay enjoyable. However, the cottages were old and sparsely furnished, and the dining options were limited, likely due to the low number of guests. Overall, I found value for money, but there's definitely room for improvement.

I had an incredible stay at Sandai Resort thanks to the warm and responsive staff. Chef Isaiah tailored our meals to our preferences, and his delicious cooking was a highlight. While the rooms were clean, they lacked luxury and comfort, and the facilities could use some updates. The area is beautiful for birdwatching, but the recent flooding had its impact. Overall, it's a good value for money if you're looking for a more rustic experience.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. The cottages are old but clean and I appreciated the spaciousness. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made up for some of the shortcomings in terms of dining variety. However, the overall condition of the facilities felt dated, and I think they could use a refresh. Despite some challenges, the location for birding was excellent, making it a place with unique charm.

We had a fantastic stay during the Christmas period! The location is unbeatable, just a quick 5-minute walk to the lake. The rooms were spotless and well-kept, and the food was delicious, thanks to the attentive chef. However, the experience was slightly marred by some minor issues that prevented it from being perfect.
