“Great experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2011

It was our wonderful stay at serenity. We got a beautiful room which made our stay more excited. We loved the massage and seen Lakshmi the next day. She was such a beautiful elephant with calm. It was great to sit outside and to have food with a beautiful and natured air. The staffs were really very friendly and helpful each and every moment. The walk near the village and near by school wow its too great. This place is very nice to stay for a long day and it is really a good place to recommend all to come and stay for a long day.And we will recommend this place to all our friends and families.

“Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings with nice staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2011

A very peaceful place in the middle of the rubber plantations run by a nice set of staff.
Only issue is the generator which is often used during power shut offs that can get a little loud.
Would recommend to other travelers especially those looking for an escape from the city. The elephant ride is really fascinating and enjoyable.

Isabelle France - The moment we entered at Serenity we felt that we are in our own home. We got a beautiful room with a beautiful view in the balcony. Our kids really enjoyed the stay and the elephant ride.The massage we had done was really good and relax able.Our kids were looked after by the lady and they were too friendly, the food was realy excellent. The walk to the rubber estate was also too good. Really we want to come back to serenity once more.

“Not worth it”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2010

We stayed for just the one night but as another reviewer stated it was not clean, rundown, mould around windows in room and bathroom. The TV and HiFi in lounge where not even plugged in and no power points nearby, the pool was not clean and the food was average. Only 1 room is air conditioned and the rooms are very dark with no outlook.The Wifi also did not work as well and we were not the only people complaining another German couple also complained to management. Considering it is over $400US a night it is very poor value

“Good location, shame about the lack of cleanliness”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2010

The building is wonderful, but the rooms, windows, bathrooms and window sills need a good clean. The shower in one of our bathrooms refused to mix hot and cold water, in the other bathroom there was no hot water at all. Despite having pre-paid our stay and the elephant ride, we were asked for full payment at check-out. The elephant ride ended far away from the hotel and we were expected to pay for the transport back to the hotel.
This place has great potential, but is badly run.
