    Reviewed October 31, 2016 for a stay in October 2016

    “Amazing!”
    Reviewed October 14, 2016 for a stay in September 2016

    Ratnakara is pretty special! The huge villa is in a perfect secluded location, the food is great and the staff couldn't be more helpful and attentive! The pool area is great and the whole atmosphere is relaxed. Would highly recommend.
