10/10Satori is more of an experience than just a place of stay. The location, amenities, host, chef and, the effort to make it all work to your liking is what stands out the most. Ever since the time of booking until the time that we checked out, everything was taken care of, without a compromise and that says a lot. Special shout out to Katy, Ishanka, master chef Shanaka and the support staff for making it memorable. And if there is one thing that I can nitpick, it would be to have an idea of a slight inconvenience in getting there in larger vehicles, the last half a mile, to be precise. But even that was tended to, which indeed is a testimony to the effort of the staff. 10/10, definitely coming back to this one, keep up the good work, guys, cheers!
10/10We had a magical vacation in this villa. Waking up to the sounds of nature and being surrounded by greenery made the week incredibly serene. And the kids loved the antics of the monkeys. The kindness of the staff looking after us was incredible, and chef Anthony's food was super yummy. There are more modern and luxurious villas on the market, but this felt like home.
